We don’t stop playing because we get old …
We get old because we stop playing.
An adventure at the library let the inner princess in me come out full force. Saving my Prince from crocodiles and letting him save me from bears and monsters was a blissful reminder of days gone by when I did these things with my sons. I don’t think my mom had time to play with me but that’s what an imagination is for, right?
The Johnstown, Colorado library has a castle motif that is ripe for children (of all ages!) to enter and enjoy. There’s a bridge, moat and castle walls. It’s truly a fairy tale haven!
Happily ... after retirement 
So very true, Marge!
We have to keep playing and having fun. Life is serious enough.

Yes life does get serious sometimes and with the anniversary of 9/11, it’s painful sometimes. This post was about lightness and smiles.

You can bet I have my camera with me on our adventures! He’s at an age where he won’t sit still for the photos but with a video it’s perfectly ok!

You’re correct – maybe we just misplaced it and then forgot that it ever existed. Watching children play is a great way to remind us and bring it to the forefront!
