Andy, Carter and I drove to Wellman for dinner with my school besties. It was a wild ride getting there (warm weather + muddy backroads = no bueno!!), but it was worth the drive. It's funny to think that 15 years ago, we were inseparable, but now we can only get together every few years. Very strange, but a great night, none the less.
When we were kids, we always had a ball, no matter what we were doing! Our kids, no exception! Madison, Riley, Clay, Emma and Carter ran all over the house, giggling and having a ball!
The picture doesn't do the story justice! I was going to take 80 to the Kalona road, and go to Wellman that way. Andy thought it was "back tracking," so he mapped an alternative, faster route. Too bad the route was on dirt/mud roads! It was 5 - 10 miles of "gun it!" "keep going!" and "you're almost there!" We fish-tailed, and Carter giggled and yelled, "WOAH!" nearly the entire ride!
The girls, the ones who've been through it all (good, bad and ugly), and are still around! Wow .. we are old!

Us kids, having kids, and catching back up years later. It really seems like a lifetime ago.

Comparing the two photos, can you connect mommies to look-alike babies?!?
