What a pleasant and unexpected surprise to receive a phone call from my granddaughter on Memorial Day in the evening. Ashley lives about 45 minutes away, and although we exchange children on a parking lot each Tuesday at 8:00 a.m. and again at 5:30 p.m., we are always in a rush and seldom have time for a leisurely chat.
Years ago one of my teacher's aides used to say, "It's such a rushing world these days." She was nearing retirement, and her words didn't phase me then. NOW, I understand.
Little mama in her third trimester, is expecting her third little boy in three months.
She asked where the sprinkler park is that Liam talks about. I gave her directions, and she and her family came to our neighborhood for fun and games just before dusk.
When Ashley was seven, we were walking on the beach. She said, "Nana, I have a secret. I control the ocean waves. When I think slow thoughts, the waves roll in slowly. But when I think of fast things, like race cars, the waves come crashing in very fast."
"You are amazing!" I told her. And now I am telling her little boys how amazing they are. Time is flying. The sixth month of the year is upon us. It IS a rushing world.
I had the best time at the sprinkler park with my granddaughter and her family.
Have YOU made any waves lately?

This looks like a fun place for children (and adults, too!).

Linda--Alex is just as cute as Liam--and apparently just as smart, too.
So happy you all had fun, Linda. Have made a few waves, some safe, some pretty turbulent. hee hee Susan
It looks like you had a lot of fun. There's a splash park near where I live and my niece and nephew love playing in it!
Something tells me you did not avoid getting wet! Looks like a good time, and good memories being made.
That looks like such fun. I have pics of my kids playing with the water hose in our yard when they were young. I don't know where time goes, but it is flying by.
