Ride the rides

Last night we went to Zoo Lights at the National Zoo. We went last year, and the kids had fun riding the rides while Joe and I watched. This year was more crowded, so with spare tickets, Joe and I joined in.

What a difference. I screamed on the tube slide. Rowan and I had a special moment on the carousel. I felt much more alive than when we stood on the sidelines.

So in life, ride the rides. Use your kids as an excuse to tap into your inner child. Trust me, it’s way more fun.
