Old Friends are the Best Friends

Last weekend we dashed off to Michigan for a little camping trip. I really can't say we roughed it because we stayed in a camper that had central air. (I didn't even know campers had air conditioning) But I will say that we had an awesome time.
Please meet our old friends Monte and Tara and their 4 kids (the 5th one was their cute little neighbor girl). We have known Monte and Tara a long time. 12 years I think. Before any of us ever imagined children. They were in Germany for 4 years and got home in 2006 so we realized it was time to pay them a visit. They hadn't met Alex yet and we hadn't met Lucas yet. We just really had an amazing time. The kids all had fun together, the brats were fabulous, the beer was cold, the fire was hot, and the company-- well let's just say we picked up where we left off and leave it at that. None of us (the adults) has changed in that department. We still laugh at the same things and say the same things. It was hilarious. With the kids there we just have more to laugh about. We definitely plan on making this a yearly tradition.
So here are some pictures and posts about our trip.
