Time with friends

We went up to Austin this weekend to hang out with our friends on Lake Travis. We have been fortunate enough to have really great friends who love to get together and play! This year we went to celebrate Hayley's 1st birthday (details to follow in another post), and as usual we had an excellent time.

Here are the boys together:

Tom, Chris, Hayden, Jesse, Thomas, and Zach

The girls:

Lauren, Lindsey, Heather, Donna, Susan, Melody

Playing "couples"ping pong...I think Jesse wished he would have been married to someone else during this game!

How cute is that swimsuit?
(Thanks, Mom! aka: Grandma)

the girls entertained themselves, while we played mini softball
Each of us with our daughters:

Lauren and Hayley (1 year)

Melody and Ryleigh (2.5 months)

Heather and Avery (7 months)

It was so fun watching Hayley toddle around...Avery sure wanted to keep up, but not quite yet. Ryleigh was content to watch the action.

Hayley was very attentive to Ryleigh- well, at least attentive to Ryleigh's pacifier! I cannot wait to see these girls all grow up to be friends. :)

A great time was had by all. We were able to hang out and catch up with friends, celebrate Hayley's birthday, relax, play games, and overall have FUN! Thank you God for the blessing of friends in our life.
