Pickup Lines from a 3 year old....

Well....day 5 of vacation....I can't believe its almost over.  The smallest things at the beach remind me of vacations when I was a child.  I hope that my two nieces remember these beach trips when they are my age...Our memories are our life history books.   I have kept a diary most of my life.....and can recap all of the major events.    Anyway, to get to my point -- HA does any of this HAVE a point?  That is stretching....anyway...
 
One thing I remember about our summer vacations are all the other kids our age we met.  My sister and I were very outgoing and met a lot of friends.  We kept in touch with some of them -- I know my sister kissed one of them -- we fished....we ate ice cream...we rode bikes...we had the time of our lives and didn't have a care in the world...
 
I look over and now, my sister's children are playing in the pool.  And they are meeting friends.  And I wonder, where did the time go?  How it just flies by like a crisp breeze....The funniest thing happened tonight.  I was watching my 3 year old niece playing on the steps to the pool and the next thing I know she is talking to this little boy -- her opening pitch was "Hey do you like my bathingsuit?"    She was cute -- She was bold -- She was ORIGINAL.  YAY!    It was like looking through a window of time....and coming full circle all in one.  How I want those little ones to remember these days....But as adults, how can we convince them -- to LOVE this day...Love it -- remember it -- soak it up?  Its an urgency I feel for them with no way to explain it.   
 
Tomorrow is the final day of a fabulous vacation....I have soaked it up - I've lived it - I'll remember it.
 
Remember:  You blink and you're 20.  You turn around and you're 30...I imagine 40 will approach like a fast moving storm...Make it count.
