The day was F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!!

My dear friend Alison and her darling daughter Cassie came for a visit on Saturday. It was the first time the girls met each other face to face after having been pen pals for a little over a year now. They clicked right away, i wasn't surprised, it was like that when Alison and I first met too!

We decided to picnic at Knights Ferry so Alison and Cassie arrived at our house and after we had a little visit while the girls played a little Tennis Wii we hit the road and the real fun began...

First of all the weather was amazing 85 and blue skies, gorgeous! We found a perfect spot with an amazing view of the covered bridge and the river below it and enjoyed our picnic lunch, that included the most amazing homemade Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies Alison "whipped up" that morning (uh yea super mom much?!). Then the girls had fun dipping their feet in the river and skipping rocks as the splashed about and bonded over squeals and giggles....
Big Daddy took the girls on an adventure and they followed a trail down to the water and climbed rocks and explored while Alison and I found a shady spot to talk and talk and talk some more. We covered every teenage girl topic and it was great to just visit and laugh. We didn't realize how much time had passed and before long Big Daddy and the girls were back. Here are some great shots of the two cutest 13 yr old girls you will ever meet...
...and here is the one group shot we got from the super fun day with our fabulous friends! We can't wait for the next adventure...thanks for coming to see us Alison and Cassie!

I love the picture with the shadow!! I've never thought to do that before, but now I can't wait to! I love the silhouette effect.

I loved having pen pals and then getting to meet them years later. What a fun thing for J!

Cute shot of the shadows. What a beautiful day. Our Saturday was spent trying to get over the mountain. Highway 70 was closed due to a major snow storm. some areas had almost 54 inches of snow. Our area had about 15 inches. Looking forward to a real spring.
