Make New Friends, But Keep the Old

One is silver, and the other's gold
Oh the wonders of technology. I laughed at Will when he first joined facebook, but I am so glad that I joined too. It is so easy to lose contact with friends as we grow and change in our lives, but I have been able to reconnect with friends I never knew I was missing, until I knew. Several of these friends are girls I went to camp with almost every summer until college. Camp is a hard thing to explain to someone who has never gone...it is a second family...a group of girls who you lived with for 2 months, didn't see again for 10 months, and picked up right where you left off the next summer...a place where you are never judged...never have to wear make-up...a place where you can be yourself and that is always good enough. One such camp friend is Alicia (Making Memories). It turns out that Alicia has a little boy is is just a week older that Liam and they have family in Charleston. It happened that they were in Charleston on a day when the kids and I could make it down there for a visit. It was nice to catch up and the kids got along great. We met at Waterfront Park and the kiddos had a blast!





Liam and Michael. It makes me laugh when Liam talks to someone his own age...so cute!


It would have been a much drier visit had the kids not seen the pineapple fountain




Oh, but they had fun!


After some outdoor fun, we ate lunch (Fleet Landing, which was fantastic) and headed back home. Looking forward to our next visit!
