I HAD THE BEST DAYS...

My BFOB texted me on Friday night

requesting my presence at the Plaisance camp in Leeville

for the 4th of July weekend.

I already had some commitments but heck I so wanted

to take this family up on their offer.

I loovvvvve camps and love this family as much

as camp life.

I worked it out, thanks to baby girl,

and headed to Leeville on Saturday morning.

I can say I reconnected with this whole clan

as a family and individually.

My BFOB made sure I did all I love, ride the boat

and he and I did some fishing I caught a big redfish and a spec.

He caught a red.

Look, If I wanted to I could take much space here

explaining all we did.

However what I really want to get across here is

just how lucky these 4 children are.

Parents owe their children love, shelter, and safety.

These Plaisance children get so much more than that.

This is a family that I can spend time with and

really relax, no pressure, no hype.

Four children that I have unique relationships with each

and notice the differences in each of them.

Being one of 4 children, you would think that

maybe at least one of their personalities would

get lost in the process of growing up

but not here.

Lots of time and effort is put into making

sure that each one of them gets the time they need

to be who they are.

Thanks to each of you,

BFOB and Rebecca

who always make me feel so special when I am around them.

...and the children....

Hugh, Lucy, Owen and Ellen

I hope you guys know how special and loved you are

by your parents.

I hope that when you are all grown up in a world

that is not always kind,

you will think back on your childhood memories

and see your Auntie Lil

in those memories.

I will always treasure this weekend

and hope that there are many more.
