The kids were completely crazed one weekend day. Chris and I were so tired. It was clear to me they needed to burn off some steam, so out in the 100 degree heat we headed. The kids ran around the front yard like banshees for at least 30 minutes. And then FINALLY, finally they settle. And the next thing I know they are chatting about camping. Tyler runs inside for something and comes back out with a pot, scissors and cups. And the kids set to work collecting “firewood” and gathering their ingredients for their Mother Earth stew. All the frustration I had pent up from the day slowly melts away as I watch these two in complete wonderment.
