We had a really neat experience today! We spent the day at a local water park. The park was having a home school day before its summer opening this weekend. We thought it would be great fun for the kids and an awesome opportunity to meet some other home schoolers. We had an awesome time! There was so much to do...short slides, tall slides, really tall slides, lazy river, all different kinds of pools and my favorite...the wave pool. I was just in need of a beach fix and this helped a lot.
I ended up talking a long time to another home school mom who had just moved to Texas three weeks ago from Indiana. It was really neat because we talked about things we were both experiencing in our new surroundings!
Moving to a place where you are just meeting people and discovering friendships can be a some what lonely feeling. When that happens your mind immediately thinks...I wish I were home. Then your mind says something really scary...this is home. So with all that going on every feeling or memory you have seems to be slightly amplified.
We are in the process of building friendships so the sad times get a little better every day. Today was good... the kids laughed and played and were around a lot of other kids, Sid and I played and relaxed and there were no boxes in sight, and as I stood in the wave pool I closed my eyes and pretended to be in my favorite place, you can read more about that here : http://efamilynews.blogspot.com/2007/07/sunset-dreaming.html
Oh, we received an AWESOME gift...season passes to this water park. Thanks Nana, we miss you every day but feel as close to you as ever.
