Bittersweet

James and Laura had a little get-together for Matt and I. In the midst of our packing and tiring day we were able to have an evening of fun and relaxation.

There was a water balloon fight... that turned into a hose fight. After two glasses of wine... it was hilarious!













Then, everyone but Beth and Amber played volleyball. Beth's top kept falling off... not a good thing in team sports!

This is Laura attempting to give Rick a high-five... very nice!













Laura has been my best friend and sister in Cincinnati. I will miss her so very much. Never will another friend fill her place.













Amber and Brian just moved in together, and they are a dear couple. Amber joined us for Gatlinburg and I feel I got to know her, just in the nick of time!













The boys (Drew, James, Adam & Matt) all played the Wii for a large portion of the evening. They were so loud, we could hear them outside.













We also had BBQ burgers and fat free hot dogs (for Laura... Rick liked em' too!). In spite of the hot weather and funny little bugs, we had a great meal. Thank you Laura and James!

Becky is going to have that baby any day now. I am so very bummed that we are leaving just as she and Bobby are going to be new parents. Good thing she has a friend like Laura.
