One of my friends from the youth group, Jenny, moved to Alaska after she got married. I haven't seen her much over the past 12 years, but we keep in contact via Facebook and through our blogs. She has been in town for her Granny's funeral and called me up looking for some playmates for her kids today while her parents were at work. My kids were super excited to have some new friends come over to play. They quickly made friends with Preston (5 yrs), Payton (3 yrs), and Parker (11 months). We went over to Daddy Steve and Namaw's for a while to play on their playground, went back to our house for lunch, and then swam for over 3 1/2 hours! At Daddy Steve and Namaw's house, Preston and Brody found some treasures....BUGS!
Apparently there aren't rollie pollies in Alaska, so Preston thinks they are so cool and has been keeping them for his bug jar. They also found some grub worms and were playing with them (gross! they were getting their worm juice all over the boys hands *shiver*)
Our kids had a lot of fun playing together and Jenny and I had a great time catching up. It made us sad that we live so far apart because we realized that we have a lot in common and would be close friends if we were in the same town! Since they came to visit us in Texas....I think it's only fair that we take a trip up to Alaska to visit them ;)
