And now you can just imagine the photos of thrilling water slide adventures, homemade fireworks (twirling burning steel wool on a metal string), community ultimate Frisbee games, tennis matches, family story and worship times, crafts and fix-it projects, picnics, and impromptu dramatic endeavors. Thank you, God, for creating a longing for fun in our hearts and for granting us permission to live life fully!
