You don’t know how much you need a break until you take one.  We left our house early Monday morning with my sister and her hubby who were visiting us, and spent the day cruising a beautiful lake, enjoying the water and each other while roasting deliciously in the sun.  As I stretched out on the comfy boat seats and gazed at the sky, I felt myself relaxing from the inside out.  We needed this day.  My hubby grinned from his position of driver… he was totally enjoying his birthday bonus.  He deserved it. 

The girls enjoyed their day on the water immensely, too.  EG and Jaime loved the tubing and especially jumping from the tube to swim to the boat… anything for some time in the water.
