Friends from Afar

This summer, we unfortunately had several of our good friends move away.  One of the families that we miss terribly is the Burt Family.  We met them when we all started our little boys playgroup when Evan and his buddies were less than a year old.  The boys, Carson and Evan, and their families became great friends.  Then, last summer, they moved had to Yosemite in California all the way across the country.

It hasn't been the same without them, so we were thrilled when the family came back last week for a little visit.  We all got together for a dinner at our friends the Offenbaker's house, and it was like times hadn't changed.  We almost couldn't believe that they had to go back to California.  Evan enjoyed hanging out with his old friend Carson and his buddies Nathaniel, Quinn, and Jonas.  Benny enjoyed rekindling his romance with his first love, Carson's little sister Amelia, and the adults certainly enjoyed getting a chance to talk to each other.

Just goes to show that friends are friends no matter how far away they are!  We can't wait until we get a chance to see them all again.
