Mosquitos and Ice Cream: A Perfect Day

So, we have been trying to plan a time when C&E and my husband and I and our kids could get together. With busy schedules, work, school, sports, it is not as easy as you think. But, today after each of us attended our respective churches, we met early this evening for ice cream at the park. It was me, my husband and 3 kiddos and C&E and their daughter V. We got Baskin Robbins and headed to a nearby park. The kids played, we sat and chatted. Even with the man-eating mosquitos, no one seemed to be bothered. It really was great and luckily my children were somewhat subdued. I think it went great. Felt like family, like we'd known each other forever. It just comfirmed to M & I that we are doing the right thing and most definatly for the right people. Can't wait to get together again next weekend. Good-night for now, It is late and I have a long week ahead of me!!
