This past weekend we went to my mother's house for the Memorial Day holiday. On Saturday we all loaded up and went to Dollywood. This weekend was a reminder of how quickly they grow up; watching Christopher ride the rides this time and seeing how much fun he had there at age 3 compared to when we were there last summer. It also a huge reminder of how young they still are when the same "big boy" cried over his chicken bites being too hot.
After time with The Family on Sunday, we went back to Dollywood on Monday. This time Christopher and Jacob each got to drive the cars in the 50's section. Christopher and I rode the River Rampage and the River Battle rides together and we both go soaked while having a great time. He wanted to ride the River Battle again but it was getting late in the day and we had other family to meet in Metcalf Bottoms. Once again we played in the water and we worked on building a dam with his cousins. It was a great time.
Jacob lived up to his nickname....Jacob the destroyer by breaking a couple of things at grandmother's house before we were even there a few hours. The second item was destroyed when both his mother and I thought he was asleep.
It was a great family vacation although I did not get enough "together time" with Janelle as I got sick on Saturday afternoon and she came home feeling run down. Even with the illness and destruction, we created some great memories for the boys and as we were reminded...life is precious and use wisely the time that you do have together.
In Him,
David
