Aaron, Hannah and I took an overnight trip to visit Becky, Matt, Allison and Abby. Rachel stayed home to work on summer work. Becky and I have a weekly phone date, so even though we don't see each other often when we finally do get together it doesn't seem like it has been that long.
We arrived at their house in time for lunch. Aaron, Hannah and Allison played Forbidden Island which is a board game. It is different than most board games in that the players have a common goal. Hannah has asked if we can purchase this game. I played Littlest Pet Shops and Polly Pockets with Abby while the older kids played their game.
Later that afternoon we went to their neighborhood pool. It was a rainy day which worked in our favor as we almost had the pool to ourselves.
We arrived back at their house in time to hear the ice cream man driving around. The kids waited excitedly for him to stop by the house.
Matt has orders for the St. Louis area, so pretty soon they will no longer be close enough for us to pop in for an overnight visit. Even though we don't see each other that often, I like that they are close enough for us to get together.
