wild river children

i was lucky enough to go to the cool blue river on tuesday. i drove out with this random car-full: carolann, seth, zach nelson, and this smart girl named micah. joining us at bucks bar were: doniella, suzanne, rebecca, zack, sylvan, jenny wood, asher, her boyfriend jeremy, jared mingle, mary, and darin! it was such fun, i cannot even describe it. the perfect tuesday at the beginning of summer. rebecca and doniella want to remake the summer of 2000 and i am all for it. so far, so good!

we spread out a picnic blanket and ate strawberries, cashew brittle, pistachios, and cherries. everyone had wonderous boisterous discussions and told hilarious stories. in the evening we all gathered at zack and rebecca's and had veggie enchiladas and rebecca's famous spanish rice and doniella's guacamole and stayed up very late making each other laugh. sylvan tackled me again and again since he is in love with me. he misses bella though! he keeps asking for her, rebecca says.

siblings dearests: you would have loved this day. i wish you would have been with us. i love that we are friends with the same people. that has got to be rare and truly magical!
