One of my favorite memories as a kid…

One of my favorite memories as a kid, was the week each summer we would spend in New Jersey with family.

The second my eyes opened, I would think of nothing else. I’d creep down the stairs while everyone else slept to slide open the back door, be smacked by the humidity smack and then jump into the cool water of the inground pool.

My sister and I would spend the whole day playing and splashing, only leaving the pool long enough to eat or use the bathroom.

I felt that freeness this morning as I dove into the pool after my run and wondered- what memories am I making with my kids now that they’ll remember in 30+ years?
