My BFF Sarah

Last week my very best friend Sarah and her family were here visiting. They had flown from Florida for Sarah's grandfather's 90th bday in Council Bluffs, but added a couple of extra days to spend some time here with us in KC and also a couple of days in Des Moines with her sister. Sarah and I have been best friends since 8th grade. Funny thing is that we had actually met for the first time when were about 2 years old. Funny how certain memories can come back to you when you are older but i always had this memory of playing with a neighbor girl when my family lived in its first house. Specifically i remember playing in a sun room because it was always bright in there. We moved from that first house when i was 3 years old. Then Sarah and I met for the second time in 7th grade. It wasn't 'til we started to hang out that our moms finally figured out that they were actually neighbors when we were little and thus had play dates. Funny how life is. Sarah and I must have been destined to be best friends. :) Throughout the years we've shared many adventures. TPing in 8th grade, our freshman year New Year's Eve party, my visits to Gatorville when Sarah was an undergrad and then to Tallahassee when she was in law school. Always we had the best time!!

So now our dynamics have changed and we both have children. I took them to TRex at the Legends for dinner on Thurs. night. I think Sarah's son Paul really liked it. He got to dig for fossil bones and everything. Friday we went to Deanna Rose's Farmstead. Nina and Paul got to feed the animals, see the new old time school house and Paul even got a pony ride. It was really fun. I've added a few pictures from our day.
