It’s funny how things change so quickly. You think some things will last forever or always be around, and then "poof", one day they are gone. Jake, the girls, and I experienced this this past Saturday morning. Our plan was to surprise the girls with some fun at a nearby game place called "Fun Zone." We have gone their several times as a family to ride the small rides, play ski ball, shoot hoops and play in the crawl space suspended above the ground. We have had tons of fun there and it is one of our favorite places to go. Sadly, as we drove into the parking lot we could see that the building was empty. The huge smile of joy left Kiera's face and her look turned into clouded disappointment. But, we quickly moved on and decided we could do something else.
Today I looked at a picture on our refrigerator of the girls and I taken on a ride at Fun Zone. I remembered how much fun we'd had there last summer. I recall deliberately going there to have fun and make memories with my daughters. With it being gone now I am SO glad that I took advantage of those opportunities.
We truly have no idea what tomorrow may bring. Let us make the most of the opportunities each day holds for us. Much love to you today!
