Last week one of my great friends Julie was back visiting the OC with her family. She grew up with me in Irvine and we met in junior high and have been friends ever since. Now she lives in Tennessee so we only get to see each other whenever she visits So Cal. Although we talk everyday and always know what's going on in each others lives, seeing each other in person is just so much more fun. And getting all our kids together was a blast. I know I already miss her and can't wait to hopefully go to her neck of the woods someday and visit.
We met up last Monday at Knott's. I only took Lilly and Bobby for that trip for a few hours. They have met her two older boys before (although not sure they remember since it was 3 years ago) and the kids got along really well.
A few of the kids....2 of hers and 2 of mine
Then we had a Girls Night Out at the Spectrum with some other friends from junior high and high school

Then we met up at Northwood Park in Irvine with our other friend Beth whom we have also been friends with since junior high. It was so crazy being with our kids at the park we grew up playing in ourselves. Pretty cool. Between Beth, Julie, and I we have a total of 8 kids. And all 3 of us each have one kid with red hair.
Left to right: The red heads, Beth's baby Hannah, Julie's baby Joshua, and my baby Loralee.

Loralee loves to swing
Then we tried a group shot of all 8 kids. It didn't go super great but at least they are all in it.
And a few shots of Beth, Julie, and I. Been friends since about 1993. I hope my kids find long lasting friendships like this too as they grow up.
We got Lilly to take this pic. She didn't do too bad with it.
