Friends

The kids and I took a drive up to visit Sherry and her family a few weeks ago...

(Cokie got left behind this time to spend her first quality time

with Nana, Uncle Teddy and Grandpa)

What can I say..?

Sherry and I go way back to college days.

She has been my true BFF ever since.

The kids have known each other since birth.

Lotsa good times and great memories.

Our kids on our very first camping adventure. Ten years ago - almost to the day.

I know the dates - not because I diligently date photos like my Mom.
(Hey, I don't even know how to the spell the word - yet alone follow it).

But, because Sherry's daughter Allie was celebrating her 11th birthday in the top photo.
Yogi Bear came to our campsite to personally wish her a happy day.
It was sooo cool.

The bottom photo - well Allie was just a few days short of her 21st birthday.
I don't think that Yogi was on the guest list this year.
Happy 21st to Allison!

One of these days, I have to write more about our "Yogi" adventures.
Priceless.
