I don't know how parents do it!

A fabulous road trip with the windows open and the tunes blasting.
The hustle and bustle of a very busy household.
Huge hugs and spontaneous kisses from three loveable munchkins.
Cool lake water and excited screams after my arms launch them into the air.
Sticky chocolate fingers after eating Dr. Mike's famous ice cream.
Playing tag in the evening before dinner and making sure to run faster than the mosquitos.
The collection of all the towels and blankets in the house to build the best fort in the basement.
Hours creating pictures and art of swirls and cobras and the adventures of horses and princesses.
Watching one horse rider master her posting trot and jumping position.
Sitting on the patio with delicious dark, strong coffee in the mornings.
A rousing game of scrabble!
Watching Harry Potter all cuddled up on the couch.
Snapping pictures of the girls and capturing them in the moment: one with a snorkel and mask on her face.
Winding down before bed with freshly washed hair tickling my nose as I lean in for a kiss.
Starting it all again with the sun rise.

What a weekend!
