As I waited for the bus to come this afternoon, I was hit (like a brick) with the realization that in 2 or 3 years, Emma and Brandon will no longer come camping with us. It's pushing it for them to want to come on weekend trips now, but they are both looking forward to going out East this summer. That's only because they have friends there waiting for them to arrive....
In 2 or 3 years I will no longer need to drive a minivan (YAY!!!).
We really weren't too sure if we would go back to Cape Breton this summer because: A) Hopefully I'll be starting a new job and B) We really can't afford it.....but when you think about the fact that this could be the last time we camp together, as a family, we can't afford NOT to.
It just astounds me.....the time has passed so quickly. People say it all the time, but until you are suddenly celebrating your kid's 17th birthday or teaching her how to drive you just don't get it. Sometimes you want the time to go faster, and sometimes you want it to stop so you can just enjoy each moment. But I've gotta tell you that 2 or 3 years is going to be gone before we know it. And that's a little bit sad.
