Last week, Melissa and I had the privilege of having extended
quality time with her sister’s side of the family.
Here’s a fun photo of all of us making a “dinosaur” face …
They live in Connecticut. We live in Florida.
(Meeting at Disney World sure is convenient!)
There are three generations of Gibbs and Burkes …
And two generations of Knechts!!
Here’s a picture that turns out to be one of my favorites:
Melissa along with her (great) great nieces: Aubrey & Ella.
I’ve watched Melissa develop a wonderful relationship
with those girls (as well as with another “favorite” niece’s
girls!) …
Because she’s had the TIME to get to know them!
That wouldn’t happen if we weren’t privileged to have
a home business and be able to set our schedules.
One of Ella’s best memories is having her Aunt Melissa
there after school to pick her up recently …
(at 3PM in the afternoon, when most people are at work!)
Oh, by the way, if you choose to bring your family
to Disney for a few days in a row, be ready to log
some miles!
On our three days, I logged: 6.05 + 6.62 + 8.95 =
==> 21.67 miles!!!
(Whoops! I did the math incorrect on the graphic).
But, getting back to the numbers …
Yes, on a 4-day visit, it can actually qualify you
and your family as a “marathon” family!
However, if you’re not being “present” with your
family before a trip like this …
It may actually FEEL like a marathon!!!
And THAT my friend, is the million dollar secret.
TIME freedom allows us to have QUALITY time
with our loved ones …
And more importantly …
How to truly ENJOY these kind of moments!
No family is perfect.
There were a couple of kid “meltdowns” …
And having 9 adults together can make
decision making a bit fascinating …
But, overall, it really was an incredible few days!
Thanks so much to: David, Melody, Don, Carol,
Justin, Jamie, Corrin, Ella, Aubrey (and of course
to Melissa and Tanner!) for a really fun fun fun
3 days!! 🙂
On the next post, we’ll dive into a few Disney

vacation, then be sure to click here for the exact system

income that works while we play! ]
