Visiting Friends in MD

Last weekend we made a short trip to Maryland to see our dear friends Pat and Kerri and their adorable kids!! Christian and his daughter joined us also! I love to see all of the girls together because they are like long lost friends. Although they go 6 months or more without seeing each other, they act like they are best friends! So sweet! Sleeping was not that easy for all, so we were a bit tired when we got home, but it was a trial run for our summer vacations. So I am happy we learned how to deal with out kids on the road and we will be better prepared for vacation and traveling. I took so many pics that I could not limit my selection... so you get to view many!

This is Carter.. he is Tyler's age and will be a great friend for him when they get a little bigger! This is how we started our get away! The boys really missed each other too! And if you know how Pat, Jeff, and Christian can be when they are together, this pic explains alot! (I know I am going to get in trouble for posting this one!)

The real reason we were invited to visit... so Pat had his "own workers" that did anything he asked for! : ) (yeah, going to get in trouble for this one too!) Natalie, Maddie and Emily

Maddie and Emily on the boat! How freaking cute are these kids?????

I know it looks like he is picking up dog poop, but he really is digging a ditch to run some wire in the lawn... another reason we were asked to visit.... Carter! Love him!!!!!!!!!!!

Ty and Emily

So this was the very first time that I let Tyler play in the mud. Actually, the first time I have let any of my kids play in the mud! I will confess that I kept putting him in the pool to rinse off. I did not want him to eat it too!

Thank you Pat and Kerri for letting us bring our chaos to your house! You are such great friends and we want to come again soon! We miss you already!!!
