Maybe Next Time

by Cesca Major

Parts were a screaming 5 and parts were like “what?” And just irritated me. It is a Groundhog Day premise about a family of four - the mom is caught up in her own life and missing all that is going on around her with her kids and then he...

It’s a bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Jade

Apparently this week we got a lot of air. Jade and her cousin were both thrown from the tube while we were boating. Luke actually got WAY higher than Jade but I was not snapping pictures that time. Harrison was loving it, until the tube flipped and he was stuck under it. Luckily he knew enough to push out from under it. It was very scary and we really need to figure out what makes it flip. Last year it never flipped and this year we have had 3 scary flips.

At our church’s Summer swim party, Jade spent a good portion of the night jumping and flipping from the diving boards. The first time she did a flip kind of scared her, as you can tell by the look on her face. At least she got back up on kept jumping after being scared. I have never jumped off a high dive, and I dare say, I have NO intention of EVER jumping off one. Not even to show Ivy that it “isn’t scary” because it is TOTALLY scary.

Sadly, I don’t have any good “old school photos” this week to link to over at Dumb Mom. I promise I’ll make up for it next week.

Those are some great action shots…and how super scary that the tube was dragging a kiddo.

sad that so many fun things involve an occasional risk. hopefully my husband has figured out the trick to keep the tube from tipping again.

The first pic is amazing! It’s a wonder you just happened to catch that, it’s great! Looks like a lot of fun!
Our kids are much bigger, but our goal is to see who can hang on the longest without getting thrown off! Lots of daredevil driving to accomplish that one!

i would be so stressed out – i’m guessing as the kids get older I’ll have to learn to handle that stress better 🙂
