I was at a work networking breakfast event the other day talking with a gentleman and he asked me about my personal/family life. I told him that I was married and had three young kiddos, ages 6, 4, and 1. His jaw dropped! Literally! He told me I was brave and probably too busy to have fun or even enjoy life. I quickly corrected him and told him that being a father to these young kiddos is what makes my life fun and enjoyable. I briefly told him about the fun adventures that my family goes on and how we like to get out and explore on a regular basis. I told him about where we hike, what towns, parks, rivers, lakes and mountains that we have been too. He had never been to most of them or even heard of them. It was an eye opening experience for him as well as I continue to talk about our next adventures that we have planned.
After this conversation, I am certain that he left having a different opinion about my life, about my family, about what was fun for me and my family. It felt good to voice my opinions about having kids and how they are a handful, yet totally worth it!
Here's my crew below as we went on a little walk/scooter ride to the park down the street from us.
