A day at the park

I spent the afternoon in Clearfield yesterday. My good friend Pamela is moving. There are four of us who have been getting together for years now. Once or twice a year we have lunch in a park or at someones house. My whole goal yesterday was to get a photo of all the kids and moms together because our gatherings have grown over the years, you know... more kids!

We have supported each other through long hours of husbands at school, babies being born so early we weren't sure if they would make it, the ups and downs of marriages and having kids, getting older and these stress (and love) that comes with motherhood. Good and bad, I am glad we have kept up our visits.

I think of these two as the miracle babies of the group.

And this was the outcome... kids were tired, trying to gather the shoes and scattered toy buckets, buckling kids in car seats then me remembering that camera in my pocket!

Funny story: Ella had a little accident in her clothes. Luckily Rachael had size 9 month old pants in her diaper bag. Ella sported those "capries" all afternoon until it was time to go. So for the ride home she modeled the new look, "vest all a shorts".
