relaxing

some pictures of the kids hanging out in the rv waiting for the weather to warm up . . . and i think it has :)

i'm realizing that road life can get too busy for us slow moving folks if i let it. being in saint augustine was so fun (and i hope to go back before we leave florida) but lately its been really nice to just hang out and not be rushing to get to the beach or some tourist attraction everyday (doesnt that sound rough?!) but seriously time to regroup is good :)

"When we adults think of children there is a simple truth that we ignore: childhood is not preparation for life; childhood is life. A child isn't getting ready to live; a child is living. No child will miss the zest and joy of living unless these are denied by adults who have convinced themselves that childhood is a period of preparation. How much heartache we would save ourselves if we would recognize children as partners with adults in the process of living, rather than always viewing them as apprentices. How much we could teach each other; we have the experience and they have the freshness. How full both our lives could be."
John A. Taylor

"By nature people are learning animals. Birds fly; fish swim; humans think and learn. Therefore, we do not need to motivate children into learning by wheedling, bribing, or bullying. We do not need to keep picking away at their minds to make sure they are learning. What we need to do - and all we need to do - is to give children as much help and guidance as they need and ask for, listen respectfully when they feel like talking, and then get out of the way. We can trust them to do the rest."
