One of my oldest and best friends is Mike Hodgens, and it had been way too long since we’d been to visit them. This past Wednesday, he happened to be home in the afternoon and i was also home from work early, so i took the girls down for a visit. This is Mike with Sage (6) and Lara (2):
I hadn’t planned ahead very well, considering that i know they live right next to a lake, but MB found some spare swimming suits for Ella and Fiona, and they jumped right in with Sage and Lara and their cousins Spencer, Will and Henry. Their grandma and aunt Anne were also swimming and having a ball playing with all the kids.
Fiona loved the water noodle, and had to periodically be corralled back toward shore by Spencer
Ella and Sage had a great time running around and playing together. Fiona and Lara were also inseparable, playing all kinds of games together here in the little shed that they recently cleaned up as a playhouse.
We had a lot of fun playing and a wonderful dinner together catching up on the past year. We’ll definitely do again soon. Thanks to Marybeth for sending the pictures, there are lots more to see it their picture gallery.
