We had such a gorgeous day on Saturday. We went to Castlewellan where we climbed, walked and explored the most gorgeous garden.
The girls were free; no instructions, no agenda. They walked, climbed trees, hid and chased.
It was so good.
And we felt light…free ourselves from shouting instructions, directions or boundaries.
Their days are so structured that they need some time to be free.
Some time to make decisions, take risks and set a slower pace.
No one telling them to hurry up.
No one saying to stay out of the muck.
No one stopping them from climbing the tallest and trickiest tree.
No one directing their thoughts, ideas or telling them what they should be doing.
Time to be free.
Some time to be kids and just enjoy.

I love days like that! It is really what childhood is all about – and I get to go back to that place when our entire family is having such a day!
