We have spent so much time in hotels this summer...that one day my girls asked if they could go walk around the foyer...they are still just little girls, and I have a hard time trusting foreign places!
We were in a relatively small town....that seemed to be safe....but still these are my little girls...at what point do you take the chance????
I knew they needed time, they are both huge helpers with the three wee ones, and we usually just have a single room hotel room.
So I agreed to allow them to walk around the foyer together!
They didn't know that I had decided to walk laps around the 3rd floor, where I could keep a close watch on my sweet little girls!
It was such a joy to watch them enjoying each other.
They laughed for at least an hour....I wished I had better spy equipment, and could hear all they were talking about!
I just enjoyed the opportunity to watch them play with one another, and love every minute of it!
I could tell they never planned to return to our small room....
and in the mean time I was getting quite the workout, since I had told my self I would walk at a brisk pace the entire time, until they came back!
I never knew they would take so long!
At last I was caught!
I can't help but wish that there will always be a 3rd floor walking area for me to keep an eye on my kids while they grow up, and spread their wings!
It's truly a gift to a parent, to have kids that enjoy one another!

So sweet! It's so hard to let go, isn't it? The whole time T was in the UK, I wished I could spy on him! We did get GPS tracking on his phone, but that was the best I could do!
How cute! I like having all of mine small enough that I don't have to worry about this - yet!
Very sweet. I wish we could always keep an eye on them too!
Oh, your girls make me smile.. such precious sisters! And I agree..it's an AMAZING privilege to parent.. and you embrace the gift with grace, dear friend!
WE'd love to have those sweet sisters over to play with our sometimes sweet sisters :)
Call when you get back from your cabin outing!
Your girls are so amazing because you have done such an awesome job raising them!
