Visit to Fairhope

We headed down to Fairhope to visit one of my best friends, Stephanie & her family. We got down late Friday, but we had a full fun day on Saturday!

We started off with lunch at a pizza restaurant that had an arcade in the back. The boys LOVED it.

We have been visiting each other ever since we graduated from college. We've never lived in the same city since college:( But it is always fun to visit, because fun things are lined up. It has been even more fun now that we have kids! Jake & Grant were due 2 days apart, but Jake came early, so Jake is about 3 weeks older than Grant. The first time we got the boys together, they were babies, so they barely acknowledged each other. Now that they are both almost 4, the actually play together. It is so fun to watch.
While they took naps, Stephanie & I went out and shopped in downtown Fairhope. Once the boys got up, we took them to a bounce house.

After the kids went to bed, Stephanie's brother & sister-in-law came over to watch the kids so we could go out to a dinner without kids.

Elizabeth & Jake
I promise I'm trying to give E a little friend so she doesn't get left out of the boy's pictures!
Jake telling Elizabeth all about it
I love looking through all of the old pictures, remembering all of the good times & special memories over the last 15 years of Steph & I. I am so thankful that they continue and I can't wait for 15 & 30 more!  

Friendship isn't about whom you have known the longest... It's about who came, and never left your side...
