Family time is my favorite time

Earlier this summer, my sisters and I planned a family day to fall a few days before my mom's birthday. It is getting harder to get everyone together at the same time but we give it our best shot. The thing is if we waited for all of us to be available at the same time, family days will never happen. And well, we can’t let that happen ... well, maybe I can’t make that happen because we all know that family time is my favorite time.

We planned a beach day for June and crossed our fingers that the weather would cooperate when the day rolled around. Not only did the weather cooperate, it turned out to be the most gorgeous day. Not too hot with a breeze.

We all brought food and drinks to share and just enjoyed a beautiful day of collecting rocks and sea shells, digging in the sand, swinging on the swings in the playground on the beach, running in and out of the water and just having an overall wonderful day. We went to Penfield Beach in Fairfield CT and we all absolutely loved it.

It’s days like these that I thank God that I hit the jackpot in the family category. Life can sometimes be hard but having people that love and support you unconditionally ... well it makes a world of difference. It makes that smile genuinely reach your eyes. It makes that laughter contagious and the joy, well the joy becomes a part of your existence. Nothing like a good family day to take away all your worries, even if just for a day.
