Long Overdue

This fading Swamp Smartweed was growing along the shore of a small pond at a nearby campground. We were there for a long, LONG overdue get together with my best childhood friend. She came up with her family and friends for a weekend of camping so we thought we'd stop in for a visit. 

It's unfortunate that we hadn't seen each other for almost 6 years.  My youngest son was an itty bitty newborn when they came to visit last. We let our busy lives and a little over an hour distance get in the way of seeing each other more often. So sad!

Our kids had so much fun together at the campground! They hunted for frogs in the pond. They went canoeing and swimming in the lake. They roasted marshmallows over the campfire, and topped off the evening hanging out in their camper being goofy and giggling the night away. Memories made forever!

We'd love to see them more. If we waited 6 more years, her oldest daughter would be 20. No way...we won't let that happen again! I hope we'll be planning another get together with them really soon!!!
