Weekends and crowds

Good morning everyone,

Since it's so gloomy and rainy today I decided to send you a sunny day pic. Looks amazing doesn't it? There's something about the color yellow that just makes us feel good. Must be tied to the sun somehow.

How are you doing today? It's the end of the week. Are you looking forward toward the weekend? Or are you wondering what to do with the kids? I recommend picking up Family Times or Volume One in this area. They list things to do. Family Times, especially, lists kid-friendly options.

Because Ryan and I are able to take advantage of places during the uncrowded weekdays we used to stay home on weekends to avoid the crowds. Then I realized that I needed to teach Ryan how to operate in a crowd situation. We've always participated in festivals, which are crowded, but not Saturday afternoon crowded. So we've started moving with the masses so that he can learn coping skills.

We still go on the non-busy days so we can take our time and truly enjoy the experience but we don't avoid the crowds anymore. My advice, tackle a crowd once in a while. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. You might be surprised as your loved one grows up, however, and it means heading out on the weekends all over again!

Have a great weekend

Much love and joy

Karen
