So for some reason I've always thought my nieces Leah and Sarah were really far apart in age - probably because they've only been together once. At our wedding. As it turns out, they aren't even a full year apart - they'd be in the same primary class at church. Today we dropped Danny off at a sitters and then picked Leah up from school. The three of us headed off to Splashtown to do the big rides. There were NO lines, so we went again and again on all the rides. The girls were so brave and were fearless. They were quickly the best of friends, holding hands between rides and laughing and splashing. They were having such a fun time that they wanted to stick together a little longer. Leah joined us for dinner and then after showers, the girls got in their PJs, snuggled into the "nest," and watched a movie together. Then, when Leah had to go home I said, "Say goodbye, you may not see each other for a long time (like a few years)" And even after their bonding time holding hands at Splashtown and not wanting to be split apart all evening they just said, "Bye. See ya later." No tears, no hugs, no sorrow. The simple, pure friendship of 8 year olds . . . .gotta love it.
(Debbie, don't worry . . . I will fix Sarah's hair tomorrow when we're not having a water-filled day) ;)

I just wanted to say 'Hi' to you guys. I was so excited when I found your blog off of Cara's.--Annie
Thanks for posting the pictures. She looks like she is having a blast and thriving on all of the attention. Poor middle child. Thanks for taking such good care of my Sarah. I am sure you have discovered her temperature comfort zone is about two degrees either way, and she is a very messy girl when it comes to food. And don't worry about her hair-- it looks like that within 5 minutes of doing it :-). Thanks again!
