Gabe and I feel so lucky to have so many wonderful friends from different phases of our life. These three boys spent many hours together in the Science Hall at Loras working on their engineer degree.
Three years ago we were able to go out for breakfast and catch up.
This year after having to reschedule twice we were finally able to get our families together for a wonderful weekend in Dubuque! No attempt was made to go to a restaurant now that there are 6 under the age of 4 : )
We started out at Doug and Nicole's house. Celie thought it was pretty funny they had a little Henry too!
Henry(3), Aiden(4) and Henry(2)
Lunch time! Who wants pb sandwiches?!
Corbett's not only have an incredible view but they have a back yard dreams are made of!
These toys aren't just made for kids!
Time for the real fun!
Henry was in heaven! He couldn't stop smiling the entire time he was in the trailer.
What's next Dads?
Time for some water and shade.
Not sure who's idea it was but they decided they needed ALL their toys in the tent with them.
2 seconds later they thought it was hilarious to take all their toys back out.
Boy is it fun watching your kid play with your friends' kids.
A huge highlight of the weekend - Our Henry's first time on a kid sized gator!
And off they go!
They could spend hours on this!
Meanwhile, little brother Theo(6m) was getting a little flirty with our little Miss Celie!
For supper we headed over to Bradford's for more fun outside - including LOTS of bubble action. Jayda(1yr)
Aiden digging away!
It was a beautiful evening outside and the boys all had bubble makers. I love this picture because it seriously shows what the last few hours were like. These boys were complete blurs running around chasing each other and then 'shooting' the moon!
So adorable!
The next morning before we had to leave Art took the boys for a little spin.
They could have ridden in that for hours too : )
Just an adorable pic of Aiden and his sister Jayda!
The rest of the morning we drove around our old stompin' grounds reminiscing our dating days : ) We drove around campus quite a bit but of course I didn't get a picture of that!
Henry and Gabe went for a little walk along the Mississippi while Celie dozed off in the car.
Stopping at one of my favorite ice cream places!
Can't wait to see how happy she gets once she finally gets to actually have some ice cream herself!
Now for the drive home!
(Where has our little boy gone?!?!)
How fun! This looks like the ideal get together. I noticed there a just a few pictures of the moms...were they just sitting around eating Bon-bonds and drinking wine?!
