Saturday Storm:  Vacation, Here We Come!

Depending on how you look at it, where you go, and who you're with, vacations can be relaxing, stressful, or a lot of work!

As a kid, I only wanted to go on vacations that involved amusement park rides, video games, swimming, or miniature golf.  Everything else was, “This is no fun!” or “I’m bored.” I didn’t think about what my complaints were doing to my parents' vacation.  Now, as a mom, I know exactly how my parents felt!  Sorry Mom and Dad! 

Here on the flip side, it took at least 8 years before vacations did not seem stressful to me.  (But, I do have to admit; it was an amusement park vacation that started the winning steak!  Thank God, we all love Harry Potter!)

So, let’s write about it!  Horrifying, epic, stressful, adventurous, relaxing vacations…in any type of package.  Tell me about it!  No really, tell me about it—leave me a comment!

I'm on vacation right now and it's inevitable. I always end up having so much fun that I'm absolutely exhausted when I get home!

Glad to hear you are having fun! We are on vacation, too! Kentucky is beautiful! On our nature walk today, we observed a bright Indigo Bunting, 2 Swans, a Swallowtail Butterfly enjoying the sweet nectar from a bursting purple Thistle flower, and every type of Dragonfly imaginable...All this set against a beautiful baby blue sky and green trees and brush in every direction. The sound of the light breeze was rustling through the tall prairie grass and the recent rainstorms left a heavy scent of moisture in the cool shaded areas. We captured some great photos! I just wish the Indigo Bunting would not have flown away so fast! It's color was the most vibrant blue and it was hovering like a hummingbird with wings so fast you could barley see them!

    As a children’s writer, and a teacher, my goal is to help you carry on.  Sometimes learning is challenging, so why go it alone?  Your journey will be more meaningful and comfortable with friends to share it with. Together, we'll get up close and personal with authors, illustrators, and the best of picture books.  If we work together, great things will follow!
