Good friends

The last day of school was Thursday, the 26th. Friday, we had the kids friends over and then decided they should spend the night. This was Becca's first sleepover at our house and Barrett's first sleepover. The kids were really good; I was actually surprised because they had been together since 9:00 or so in the morning. Their parents picked them up the next morning, then we went to their house that evening for a cook-out with some other people. We then saw them one more time on Tuesday before we each went on our respective vacations. We had a good time at their house playing on a homemade slip n slide. Barrett finally decided he liked it. He played in the sprinkler for awhile before deciding to slide. This was the last time, unfortunately we will see them, at least in the foreseeable future as they are moving to Washington state. We are truly sad to see them go, not only because we had a great trade-off system with free babysitting once a week and monthly date nights, but also because they have become like family and our kids like siblings. Becca's first sleepover was at their house because I knew she was comfortable there and Barrett never had problems staying there or sleeping there. Every time Daniel and Barrett saw each other, they screamed, held out their arms, ran to each other and gave each other big hugs. We have been truly blessed by them and they will be truly missed.
