The first day we took Kimm and the girls made the comment that heck, they could have been doing that all Summer. (Okay, the "heck" was all me). I agreed and explained (again - I'm always making this particular point) that having fun doesn't have to cost anything. That's my mom, Sandy, and Trinity, my niece, who regular readers are probably familiar with already. Do I have any regular readers? Leah, I think that would be you. :D When Leah met Trin in person, she said, "Hi, Trinity," without me introducing her and Trin looked so shocked - how does this lady know me? Pretty funny.
The day we took Kimm with us to the creek, I got to thinking about the girls and how today girls don't seem to be as focused on boys as me and my friends were. I think that this is a good thing and it took me a long time and a whole lot of pain to learn that my life has meaning even when there is not a man in it. I wrote about it over at Dating Dames. You can see it, and my lovely daughter, Bay, here http://www.datingdames.com/lesson-learned-from-my-daughter/

Love that last photo. BTW your creek looks so peaceful, I wish I lived near one. We have a lake nearby but have yet to get down there. I'd really like to show the kids what it is like to just lay on a raft and float. :) You are definitely giving these girls some lasting memories. Oh and on the young girls and boys I think they start at 8 and quit thinking of them by 10 lol. BalletGirl is in the Oooh boys, I like, such and such stage. :)
I thought that I commented on this yesterday. Sorry! I think my connection is messing up the stuff I'm trying to send.
The creek is a wonderful place. So relaxing. I hope that you make it to the lake soon.
