My longest and best friend, Kristen, along with her husband and baby are starting a new adventure in Nicaragua helping manage a resort, Rancho Santana. You can check out where they're staying here or follow them on Kristen's blog here. For some it may seem a crazy venture, but for those who know Kristen and Phillip, not only does it seem normal, but almost expected. We arrived back in Texas from our latest adventure just in time to get together to wish them well on theirs.
We met in Killeen at Kristen's parents' house for a day of catching up. Harrison and Gavin were shocked when I told them Kristen's parents didn't have a PlayStation, Xbox, Wii, or any other gaming system that brings hours of entertainment. When I told them the reason was because they didn't grow up with that sorta thing Harrison said, "then what did Mrs. Hewitt play with growing up?"
Mrs. Hewitt showed the boys entertainment sans video games. Old matchbox cars, building blocks, and even a sprinkler circa 1981. Technology schmechology.
Play time in the backyard is clothing optional.
Racing into the kiddie pool!
Six months apart in age, but about six years apart in size!
A long and playful day resulted in some smelly boys desperately in need of a bath. After we were all cleaned up with tummies full on Root beer floats, we said our goodbyes and gave our hugs.
July 2011
Kristen and I with our babies, Cannon and Cooper, in town for a visit after Cannon was born last summer. It was a coincidence when Kristen arrived wearing the same plum shirt I had on, but it was "whoa" when our boys had on matching 'stud muffin' onesies.
