We went away to Williamsburg for the weekend. As a chaplain, my husband does marriage retreats for Army families and we went along for this one.
This retreat was held at the Great Wolf Lodge, which was such a fun place for us to visit. It was family friendly and the kids had an absolute blast.
We had planned to spend our free time visiting Colonial Williamsburg, but ditched those plans to offer the kids some water park fun!
The fun that they had at the inside water park was well worth our change of plans.
Sometimes we need a change of plans to put things into perspective. My husband and I realized that this time away wasn’t about us as we delighted in our children giggling and playing in the water.
We need to know as parents when to sacrifice and put the needs of our children first, before our own.
We have a lifetime of meeting our own needs, but our children will only be small for a very short amount of time.
And then it will be gone.
They will be gone….living lives of their own, out from under the safety of our nests.
Yikes!! That’s not something that I want to think about, but it will happen.

So, very, very true! Good for you for seizing the day and the moments with your kids. I have heard great things about this Lodge, but haven’t been yet… sounds like fun!
