reunited with friends!

I was so happy that my friend Jessica was willing to pack up her three kids and make the drive to our house the last weekend in March. The kids were so excited to see their friends again and immediately jumped into playing and imagining and being silly as if no time had passed since they last saw them. We are glad that we're still a relatively short drive from Virginia and all of our friends there. 

The kids played outside as much as they could but it ended up being a rainy weekend so they also came up with fun activities inside too, like creating their own treasure maps. Ben watched all seven kids Saturday afternoon so Jessica and I could enjoy a lunch date at La Farm Bakery (yes, we go to La Farm quite frequently). Delicious food (yummy goat cheese and asparagus quiche) and great company with uninterrupted conversation. A highlight of the weekend for me.

Checking out a frog Ben found one night.

Releasing the frog. I'm pretty sure it was near 11 p.m. at this point.

Checking out the neighbor's horses.

Like moths to a flame.
