Yesterday was the last full day we had before Phil and family left for Seattle today. We decided on a great kids' park in Prosser. Phil said, "Can Dad come with us?" I helped feed Marvin and got him bundled up (it was COLD!), and we drove to Prosser and played.
Marvin slid down the slides (3 of them), and hung from the rings. Phil and I were standing by the simulation of a rope bridge, when Marvin stepped up and started to walk across the ropes. Even though his balance is not exceptional, with Phil on one side and me on the other, he made it to the top!
We then drove down to the Yakima river because Caleb wanted to skip rocks...I brought some bubble-making materials. The rocks weren't great skippers, but the bubbles were! The cold temps and the slight wind sent the bubbles skittering across the river...some clear to the other side before popping!
Then a stop for Starbucks hot chocolate.
Even though our family is touched by a terrible disease, we all enjoyed being together, doing normal, fun things.
We are made for joy, and we are re-energized by it. JOY IS NORMAL.
