we went to the store and ended up on a lake. how you ask?
well.. Sunday we ran an errand in a nearby town then googled a local playground. there we found a sprinkler and a lake with boat rentals. amazingly there was no line, a far cry from the crowds in Brooklyn. so the 3 of us climbed into a boat and went pedaling around the lake . its so much fun to do something adult that our child can enjoy too. its so much fun to watch yossi explore like its his first time (he's been before as a baby/toddler but there is a special joy in seeing your child old enough to understand what he is doing and remember it)
we came home at the end of the day tired and satisfied. i was struck by how normal the day was.. for one day, for a few hours we were just a regular family enjoying a typical weekend together.
