After a few rough school days after our Easter vacation, I decided to step away from home for a bit and go to the park. The sunny, breezy day was the perfect backdrop for a picnic. We spread our blanket under the shade of a tree and shared lunch together. Then we played a few games of Carnium Lunch Bunch followed by an attempt to fly the kids' mini kites. The kids played on the playground for a bit and rode their scooters around while I read some of my book. When they were ready we headed home for a movie. It was just the refreshment we needed to press on for the remainder of the week.
Sometimes it's too easy to get caught up in the textbooks and lesson plans of school and the chores of home. I neglect to just find time to enjoy my children. I was glad for the reminder to play. The smiles on their faces were a priceless treat!
