How could you resist?

So we went adventuring a few days ago and discovered a sweet toy store in the Riverwoods shops! Like all toy stores should, Blickenstaff's came equipped with old fashioned candies and throwback graphics on lot of their toy and game packaging. The overhead train and airplanes were  my favorite part for sure. I love when little shops like this make an effort to create an environment to experience when you go inside. And as you are selecting the bobbin or adventure guide of choice (we were after Bananagrams), those who tend to the toys that live in the shop may offer to teach you a new game or ask for a quick round of Spot It.
I must admit I need let my 7 year old self do the driving more often, this place was a nice release.

The essence of all that is childhood should never leave us. Its that curiosity and joy of learning that gives life to the day-to-day. It increases appreciation for the small joys and beauties of this world. It keeps me breathing. I can't let that inner child go to Neverland forever; I make sure she visits as often as possible to play. There is too much to be said and a lifetime of learning on this subject that I am so intimate with. I love when others capture small snippits of how I feel. Thanks to Gotye and Ari Gibsonfor this beautiful story. Enjoy.
