June 29: Yesterday evening, we had a great time at the beach with all our “baby friends.” Come to think of it, they aren’t really babies any more. In fact, they aren’t even toddlers any more. We now have a wild pack of preschoolers on our hands!
We all met when our first-borns were only weeks old, and now here they are…three years old! I haven’t seen many of the other families in months, so it was a lot of fun to get together for a blustery evening at Vilas Park Beach. Kids in attendance included Jaya (and new baby Turner), Cora, Vianne (and one-year-old baby Shae), Anika, Eli, Isabelle (with a baby sister nearly here) and as we were leaving, Max and Miles.
Andrew had a blast at the party. It was his first time this summer in the water, and he really enjoyed getting his feet wet. It got me excited about spending lots more time at the beach as the weeks go by.
Pictures from the party are in the gallery. For a fun comparison, see pictures from their one-year and two-year birthday parties.
