Friends gather here.....

Every three years, we head to Utah to visit family and friends.
Our families have been together for a good 20+years.
They are the best!
They are family!
Every time we visit, we head to this pool area, big enough to hold all our families.
It's great for the kids to go off swimming with their friends and a chance for the moms to chat and talk!
On a side note, this is Ethan, who is terrified of heights, jumping off a 33 foot platform!
We were all impressed and proud of him to accomplish this fear!

His brother, Blake, was impressed to see that he jumped too!

My other fearless child, also was happy to see her brother jump off this platform with her!

Lucky for us, between the five families, their is always someone to play with...

Caleb was excited to hang out with his friend, Connor...

all the older kids talking and chatting with each other....

the in between kids hanging out with each other and having some laughs!

So, my dear friend, Kim and I thought it was super cool when these two above were born the same year.
We thought, wouldn't it be cool if someday they will marry and we could be in laws together?!
We loved the idea so much that every time we visited with each other, we would have the two take a picture together to document their time together.
It was all in good fun, until this time around....
both 15 year old actually enjoyed hanging out together.
Not so sure it's all fun now......
maybe it's a good thing that we come and visit every three years!!
We need to think this through!
The ladies!

horrible picture quality...wish I could have taken a better one.

I love these ladies!
They are my bestest of friends and I love them dearly!
Can't wait to see you guys again!!
