Eagerly await the next thrill


As part of our summer adventures I had the thrill of going with these three on a jet boat ride down the Willamette River!  The speed of the boat was good, but once the first sideways slide was experienced they were hooked.  The 2 hour trip was filled with spins, stops, speed, and HUGE amounts of water pouring over our heads!  The hot weather caused us to anticipate the next "splashing" and exactly how that splashing would occur.  
It was so much fun watching my grandsons be so excited while filled with anticipation and then react with contagious enthusiasm.  Hanging out with them causes me to feel like a kid again, and this day was one of the best.  
It's easy to get caught up in being a grown-up and forget what it's like to be a kid and enjoy life.  Letting go and allowing the enthusiasm of a child is one of the best ways to "grow-up"  It's is my pray that you will have the opportunity this week to look forward to a fun ride that might even get you a little wet!
