Back from Vacation
Just got back from a week in Rehoboth Beach, DE. What a week!
A few of the highlights include catching a lizard, a pod of dolphins swimming about twenty yards from us, go karts, a little Princess Bride at a Screen on the Green, walking the boardwalk, Grotto's pizza, and body surfing with the kids in the ocean!
Lots of great memories!
One of the books I read on vacation was The Choice by Og Mandino. He alludes to the pricelessness of good memories. Thought I'd share an excerpt.
I am convinced that the greatest legacy we can leave our children are happy memories: those precious moments so much like pebbles on the beach that are plucked from the white sand and placed in tiny boxes that lay undisturbed on tall shelves until one day they spill out and time repeats itself, with joy and sweet sadness, in the child now an adult.
Memories. Love's best preservative.

Wow, I'd say that was my childhood. It was not perfect, but as an adult I often miss my childhood, and now I know why. My parents wanted us to enjoy being a kid and we had so much fun and laughter in our home. I'm glad you posted this, because my kids are still young, and I've never thought through that and want them to have that mountain of memories that spills over into their adult life.
