“After Dinner Sprint”
When our kids were young, we had a tradition of racing on the beach after dinner. We aimed to tire them, but the energy and connection of those evenings was inspiring. As these children become vibrant young adults, I see the influence of these moments of wide open, carefree expression on them, and how highly their Dad is esteemed for demonstrating that zeal and orchestrating these memories.
