Last week we did a few things that I hope will be yearly traditions:

Attending the Balloon-Glow at Forest Park, and
Picking apples in Illinois

These days it's easy to just be lazy on the weekends, and do nothing after a tough week. Where is the joy in this? To grow as a family, we want to experience things as a family! This includes cutting down on those lazy, nonproductive weekends.

What about you? Do you have any traditions that serve to pull your family closer?
