Since Maya's arrival, Graham has been asking when we can go to Sammy's house. I think he was a little curious about Sammy's new baby sister, but mostly I think he just wanted to go play with Sammy. We were invited to come have dinner with Sammy and his family this past Friday night - Kara's mom was also in town so we got to visit with Sam's "Grammy" too :)
The kids had fun playing inside and outside - the sandbox, bikes, and I believe many containers of toys were dumped out in several different rooms of the house! A good time was had by all :)
We had grilled salmon and these super yummy potatoes that Miss Kara fixed in the oven. The kids were most excited about the watermelon though....
MIss Ellie couldn't get enough - notice she's eating it out of both hands.
With two kids in each family now, these gatherings get a little bit louder, a little bit more active, and much more appreciated and enjoyed. It may seem a little crazy in the moment, but the kids have a blast and we all get to be in this together for a night. I'm hoping it's something we can do more regularly, especially now that summer vacation is almost upon us. (Graham has asked almost daily since we went there when we can go to Sammy's again!)
Thanks for having us over - we'll pick a date to have you all over soon :)
