A family that plays together, stays together

We've spent four days of the Labor Day weekend to play together. The boys have gone to car races, demolition races, soccer tournament and a cookout and boating with friends. The best part is the adults playing like kids which keeps us young and to enjoy our time with the boys. Yesterday, we had a cookout with friends who live on a lake. We did boating, tubing and jet skiing. It was so much fun screaming as my tube went careening across the water. My boys watched from the boat with big smiles on their faces. Today, our whole family went knee boarding on our lake. We stopped doing our chores for the afternoon and we took turns knee boarding and tubing while I took tons of pictures. We encouraged each other, cheered, clapped and worked as a team to manage the ropes and reset for the next rider. I love how we can do enjoy activities as a whole family. In the summer, we boat, tube, ride bikes, run, and play. In the winter, we down hill ski and snowboard, and we go snowmobiling and sledding. It is these times together, that we bond and strengthen our relationships. We learn of each other's weaknesses, fears, joy and accomplishments. We are the best team players and cheerleaders a family member could ever ask for!
