As a family we went to Great Wolf Lodge in the Poconos of Pennsylvania as an early Christmas gift for my nieces. After totally wiping out after going down a water slide with my sister she said “didn’t you not used to like this kind of thing?” I answered that “I got weird.”
This is maybe not exactly true. Maybe I just grew up. Not this weekend though. This weekend I played for hours in a water park with my nieces. I had an indoor snowball fight. I wore matching outfits. I saw Santa.
So maybe I didn’t grow up. Maybe I grew down. Maybe I’m finally learning how to be a kid.
