We don't have one and for that I'm thankful. Its as if all stereotypes and expectations are erased when these cousins get together as they work to achieve their main objective - FUN; and they do it effortlessly.
As they gather around/in/by the pond soaking in all the adventures it
offers I observe how my children are shaped by these simple
activities; not the stone skipping skills or the catfish catching
techniques but the unconditional love for others, the ability to find
commonalities where few should exist, and the courage to try new things.
The gifts that these cousins give each other are priceless - something that I, as a mother, can't give my children.
And for that, I'm eternally grateful.
