The destination? A kiddies park. There I take my 44-year-old behind swinging for sometimes a half hour (my behind complains, but it's well worth it). It is fun to watch the families with their kids and their dogs, just hanging out. My favourite thing to do lately for peace of mind, is to take a really long walk with my MP3 player. The destination?

Someday they'll appreciate it! @Barbara - Fun games - we've played spoons before as well (I'm not quick enough!). @Linda — Hey, that sounds just like our two oldest kids (13 and 11).

It gets pretty dangerous as everyone is grabbing for a spoon, but the memories and laughter that are created are priceless. We've also played the basketball game you play. That's a lot of fun too. Great post and a great reminder to not take life too seriously. Hi Lance,

I heartily agree with your post. My husband and I plan on never becoming too old to laugh and "play." Our teenager hates it when we act silly around him now, but --well, too bad! Hi Lance,

And, lots of play time I'm sure. Enjoy it! @MizFit - If you can dodge a car, you can dodge a ball!! That's play at it's finest! @Dr. Cason - Sounds like you're having a lot of family fun -- it sounds like a blast! That's great family memories you're making. @Chris — 5 kids, that’s got to keep you busy!! And, lots of play time I’m sure. Enjoy it!

That's the favorite with my three recently. All five of us sit down and take turns being the goose and it's a riot. You what the best part is? When my husband picks me and I tear off in pursuit. The kids love seeing us playing and giggling! And when we sit down again, I look over at him and smirk and he smirks back. ;) Duck Duck Goose. That’s the favorite with my three recently.

I'm sorrounded by PLAY. And you are dead on on every single benefit of PLAY. If we do all work and no PLAY then pretty soon we will all snap.

Enjoy the long weekend. @Marelisa - Right, it's good to separate from work every once in a while. Laughter breaks would be great - if we could figure out a way to do that everyone would be happier and more productive! @Michelle — It’s a sign! Enjoy the long weekend.

Laughter breaks should be added to our schedule just as we add "serious" tasks. And I love the quote from Apple.
