i rate enthusiasm even above professional skill. – edward appleton

Posted on August 5, 2015 by beth

some of the grandies

upstairs

near the bunk-bed room

pajamas on

unwinding

problem-solving

still full of energy

after a long day

spent enjoying and exploring

the water and sand and gardens and lawn

way up north

on a warm and breezy

michigan night.

Cute. If kids are silent and still, they aren’t learning and growing into themselves. Enjoy the ruckus

Some might call it enthusiasm, while others call it drinking the kool-aid.
