I was somewhat lukewarm about going to Great America yesterday: We’ve been to amusement parks a lot this summer, and I didn’t want our trips there to lose their special-ness. (Plus I myself was starting to get some amusement park fatigue.) But then, the sweetest thing happened: The girls won matching pink frogs at a carnival game and got so excited that they jumped up and down, ran around in circles, and had their “sister frogs” kiss one another. They most certainly did not need new stuffed animals (they have so many already!), but the look of sheer joy on their faces as they played with them was, in my mind, as good as it gets. And I’m so glad we went – if only to experience that moment.
