Like Old Friends

Lexi, Finn and I took a quick trip to Evanston/Wisconsin Mid-August. We spent a day in Evanston and our dear friend, Keri, organized a get together/early 5th bday party for Lexi at the beach. It was so great so see Lexi with all her old friends and playing like she never left town. They reminded me of me and my old friends-- It doesn't matter how much time passes in between visits, we always just pick up where we left off.

Finny snugglin' with Nana. He took a cat nap on the beach and then bounced back and played again.

For Lex and Finn this was definitely one of their best days at the beach ever. Thanks to everyone for motivating. We'd loved seeing everyone!
