Make new friends, but keep the old...

We had some friends from Washington visit us, that we haven't seen in over 7 years. It was wonderful to catch up with old friends (yes, who happen to be younger than us). Last time we saw them, they had 4 kids and now they have 7.

What a joy it is to have friends that we can reconnect with so easily. Friends that it doesn't matter how much time has passed, we could still jump right back into our close friendship.

Now, we can't let 7 more years go by before seeing them again!!!

(And, yes, I was doing a bit of match making with a couple of my kids and a couple of their kids!!)

We had a blast showing them around our town, going on a hike, checking out the views, getting ice cream, seeing how many kids can fit on a play structure or two...and many great conversations.
