An Excellent Day!!!!!!

I love my kids. Shocker, I know! We had a really great day Friday and I thought I would share the proof. We headed off to Inner Peaks the indoor wonder of Charlotte with thousands of square feet of indoor climbing extravaganza! Don't get me wrong, it wasn't just the place that was great, 'cause it really wasn't. It was the whole experience with the kids and their honesty spewing from their innocent lips!

Miss Lyss was insistent that "french fries ARE good for you, 'cause her mommy told her so and she tells the truf!" So in the defense of the healthy lifestyle, Miss Liz gave up the argument. Her philosophy? Why argue? There is no winning side to an argument with a 4 year olds beliefs in a root vegetable cooked to a soggy state in what some like to call liquified animal fat. Anyway, there was hunger, feet stompin', rock climbin', belly laughin', people droppin', boulderin', melt-downin', trader joe-in' fun!

Miss Sims even gave us a lesson in seat belt safety and chimed in on the fact that her mom was "gonna get a ticket from the po po!" Which led to a frantic police watchin' the whole way to trader's!

The lesson that we learned on Friday is that life is great! Life is fabulous! If you take the time to emmerse yourself in the life around you and glean those great moments into your brain. A cerebral memory flash drive to open up later and relish those times God gave you. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. They didn't think it was quite so funny, though.

My favorite moment: As Liz and I were belaying those cute little bodies up the rock wall she turned to me and said, "Do you get that feeling, you know the 'Coolest Mom" feeling right now? Think what some others are doing right at this moment and what we are doing right now!" You know what.....we are VERY COOL MOMS!
