Kim, Susan and Riley arrived Sunday around 4 and after hugs and introductions, we turned right around and ventured to Harris Hill for kiddie rides and playtime. Sam and Riley loved the rides (of course!) and Thom chilled from his carseat watching everything and thinking about how he'll join in some day (soon!).
Then we came home and had some eats and the kids played together and watched some shows on t.v. It was really nice to catch up with both of them and i loved that talking and reminiscing with Kim came so easily. We got to laughing about our friend Sarah, who recently passed away, and her antics at the summer camp, one of which involved driving the boat and pulling Kim waterskiing. Sarah sped up and slowed down, over and over (I think on purpose, so that she could laugh, but we can't confirm that), and somehow, Kim managed to stay UP. She'd sink way down in the water, and then practically catapult OUT when Sarah would take off again. Good times...
The next morning, Ron and I prepared a big hearty bfast (waffles, eggs and bacon - YUM!) and Sam and Riley hung out in the living room playing and watching morning shows on PBS. The day was chilly and rainy, so any plans to play outside were thwarted. They were headed to Naples for the week, and ended up heading there around lunchtime. I hope they have good weather this week!
It was a fun 20 hours together. Went quick, but well worth it. I told Kim we are NOT to let another 17 years pass. I'll be making sure of that.(If you would like to see all the pics from our visit together, have a gander.)
That's so cool. I spent time recently with my childhood friend that I haven't seen in 20 years. And just like you, it was as if no time had passed at all. It was awesome. As for your friends daughter, she is a beautiful girl. Look out when she gets older!
