Yes, they sure do! I was looking back at the last full family vacation we took which was just 2 years ago. Not really that long ago. I came across some pictures of all of us at dinner during our last night on St. Kitts. I had to look it up on Google Maps but it was at Boozie’s on the Beach on Frigate Bay. Great memory and great little restaurant if you ever find yourself down on that island.
I looked at this picture of Mary and Emily and thought they haven’t changed much in two years. Emily being way more mature maybe but looks pretty much like she does today. Then I saw what the other side of the table looked like:
Besides the fact I need to be better at applying sunblock to my face while in the Caribbean, I was shocked that Mikey doesn’t even look remotely the same. In two years, he literally went from little boy to full grown teenager. Straight hair? Not anymore. He has a curly mop on his head. He’s probably only an inch or so shorter than me now. I just had to buy him new hockey skates for this season because two years ago he was wearing a size 2.5 skate and today he’s in a size 7 skate.
So every vacation picture tells a story for sure. These just happen to tell me a story that kids grow up fast and you better take the time to notice! As they say….the days move slow but the years move fast. Couldn’t be more true.
