Fourth of July

Sometimes you meet people that change your lives for good and although you may  not talk to them as much as you want, you are still able to stay close.  You consider them family and then make it a priority to see them, cause that is what you do for family after all.
Nicole and RyRy moved away two years ago now, it wasn't a move anyone was happy about.  We all met up at RyRy's parent's home this weekend, all of us minus RyRy (he was working).  Rue and Bonnie, they feel like family too you see.  They love my kids and we love them.  They have a wonderful home and  claim to love it when it is "kid messy."  This totally works for us.
Berke was excited to play with Eloise, who is now three years old and has grown so much since we last saw her a year and a half ago!  Nicole wanted to meet Baby Viv, and clearly she needed to, cause she is all sorts of adorable!

We had a blast swimming, it was Viv's first time and she loves to kick and splash in the water.
Berkeley is so brave in the water this year.  He loves to splash around and will even  put his head under the water.  We all loved swimming together.  
I gave Christian some diving lessons as well, it was somewhat humorous at times, but he was brave, kept trying and was able to get off one successful dive after a few successful belly flops.
 Rue and Bonnie pull out all the bells and whistles, they don't lack in fun swimming pool toys!

 Happy 4th of July!
 What is more american than ice cream?  


 We also did some "hiking" around Lake George.  What a beautiful place!  These kids, and I mean all four of them, loved climbing rocks and having fun!


 The while gang!  What a funny and crazy fun crew.


 I love me some Nicole!  She is one of my soul sisters, no questions asked.  I love her so!  It is so great to watch our families grow together!  It was especially fun to see how wonderfully our kids played together.  They are 2 1/2 years apart but played together fabulously!
