Easy fun with old friends

We went down to visit Julie and her girls last week. It may be our last visit. Sob! I wish we had been doing this weekday visits for the past five years! The kids played with water balloons and made a huge mess in Molly’s room (and everywhere else in the house!) and were generally silly together. Kate gave me all her love and snuggles. Julie and I hung out and chatted. Good times!

At first they weren’t sure exactly what to do with the water balloons…

… but they figured it out pretty quickly!

Baby love! This is what I saw all day! :) It’s off center because I didn’t want to make her wait too long trying to aim the camera.

Lex made a water balloon snowman. He was very proud. :)

This is what water balloons are for! And big backyards. And summertime!

I love this one. Lex likes babies. :)

Julie is a genius! Look at the fun they have in their backyard!

balloons

They filled up a bunch and hid them around the yard. Then they had a water balloon hunt. These were the found ones.

For awhile we were blurring the lines between summer fun and Easter activities. :)

After the water balloon fun ended we all went out for a walk. Or a ride, depending on who you talk to.

This makes me smile. Why are we not neighbors?!

I couldn’t decide which of the following four to post! They all make me smile. :)

Eve’s turn to pull the heavy load. :)

I just checked her blog to see what’s new and found this: The sign goes up. Sob! Err, um… I mean, best of luck to them and happy new life in the old state.
