Kids make their own fun

You know how today, as an adult, we're often planning "fun" things to do. Like:
  • Go on a planned-down-to-the-last-second vacation (that you need a vacation to recover from);
  • Spend 2.5 months to find a date that works to get together with friends over lots of yummy drinks and desserts, or;
  • Pay a bunch of money to buy tickets, get a babysitter, park in a city garage and walk a mile, just to go to a too-loud concert?     
Remember when you were a kid and blowing bubbles in your milk with a straw was fun? Or digging for worms after a hard rain? Remember how great it was when we made our own fun?
 
Like, sliding down a hill, getting all scratchy from the grass?


Or pretending spaghetti was a plate full of "wormies" to eat?


I love how kids make their own fun, and find joy in the most mundane things.

And I love how having kids lets me live those silly moments right along with them.
