I was transported right into your vacation with your family, @brandon! Very visual story telling. I guess we know where your daughter gets her genes for clever slogans! (Totally agree wi @dipankar that this should be our slogan for the challenge!
PS. By recording this as a story, you have something to pull out and mail to her when she is 19 and flagging through mid-terms. A reminder of her boundless energy and ambition!
One of my initial thoughts for writing was creating a living story for my kids (and myself) to have and, therefore, remember. I wanted them to see these magical, mundane moments through their dad's eyes. Thank you for reminding me of this.
That would be a wonderful legacy. As we empty my parent's home, I get to read letters my father wrote to us. To see ourselves through his eyes, is indeed a very special treat, and a link back through time.
One more time and twice after that. We should use it as a slogan for our writing challenges.
The simple joys of life are the best and most meaningful.
+1! It should be our slogan.
Your daughters have the right idea! And there’s a family tee slogan right there: “One more time, and twice after that!”
…the joy man…the joy…so good…
Sometimes it takes a kid to show it to us.

We should!
And yes, trying to embrace those simple joys/moments and have many more.
