visiting Lake Mohawk and the boardwalk,
feeding the ducks,
taking charge of Grandpa Tom's garden,
and delighting in the bees and honey his next door neighbor breeds.
my cousin, her parents and her kiddos.
Lexi and Tiffany are just a few months apart in age, and they were instant peas in a pod.
They explored all over my parents yard, played hide n seek around the neighborhood,
went on a scavenger hunt and caught a toad.
The whole family enjoyed lunch at the Boardwalk Club.
My girls were running on fumes by this point - with many missed naps for Ryleigh
and many 10 pm bedtimes for both girls…
but seeing a lot of familiar faces was such a nice summer treat for us.
Fairfield is at its finest this time of year,
and we so enjoyed not only the perfect weather but also the wonderful company.
We also stopped by our old home and visited briefly with our former neighbors…
it was a welcome relief to see that for the most part,
105 Deer Park Road looked exactly the same as when we left it.
The girls had a great time spending the night at Ella (and Henry's house).
Ella and Lexi were fast friends once again after just a few minutes.
And of course I was thrilled to catch up with her mom and even join her
for one of Julie's exercise classes the following morning.
Then, we spent a few hours at the Wellen's new home.
The three older sisters have been playing together since they could walk,
and it was great to get the blonde, the redhead and the brunette
together again - this time with all the younger siblings included also.
Then we traveled over to Westport to enjoy the evening with this crew.
My how they've grown.
They ran their energy out, and then some.
It's wonderful to see Ryleigh, Paige and Quinn in the fold with their "bigs".
Finally, it was time for the ride home to NJ.
Both girls fell fast asleep the minute we got into the car.
We arrived at Aunt Wendy's just in time for Lexi to get sick
from car sickness/exhaustion. She made it about five feet from the bathroom,
so that was a "lovely" way to end our day.
Just keeping it real :)
Thank you to the dear friends who took us in and entertained us!!!
