Saturday my family had it's first official staycation: A trip to Lake Texoma. Our old neighbors who are more like relatives than just neighbors invited our family and their extended family up for a little reunion on Saturday. These are the parents of my brother's childhood best friend. They also have three daughters who have known me since I was born. I was the flower girl in one of their weddings which seemed like yesterday and I can't believe it was 18 years ago! It was so poignant to have all of us who grew up together with all of our kids now (I'm the youngest and obvi without children), but definitely a celebration of friendship for almost 30 years!
Highlights included a tractor ride by "Mr. Bill" (my nephew Jack LOVED THIS!) and a ride on the family's boat.
My dad was a trooper even though he was a little afraid of getting seasick.
Sidenote: I can't tell you how many photos I have of my dad either holding up the peace sign or waving at the camera.
Hope you enjoyed your weekend. Take the chance to reunite with old friends as much as possible. It's so special to get together. Time really does fly!
Wear a lifejacket!
