In my 31 years of life, I have crossed paths with a great number of people. Of course some have merely passed through my life in a quick minute, some have been with me through specific special time periods in my life, and others have had a deep impact in my life in one way or another. But I am so lucky to have a small group of friends that have been with me since I was just a little girl. I have grown up with these women and they have shaped who I am as a person and I am forever blessed to have them in my life.
Since "the good ole" days we have added a few into our circle of friends - husbands, babies, even a few new close friend's - but we have remained as close as always. Over the Fourth of July Holiday weekend we all got together at a friends cottage on Conesus Lake for the annual Ring of Fire.
The lovely Conesus Lake - It was quite popular that day
There were plenty of snacks to be had by all!
A favorite activity of the day was heading down and sitting on the dock. It's exciting stuff - really it is!
Sitting on the dock was especially fun for this little sweetheart & his daddy
Someone needed a quick nap before joining in all the fun
And when she woke up - she didn't miss a beat. She didn't just join in the fun - she created it!
Lollipops are serious business.
Got to love the two newest additions to our group. Future power couple? I think so!
Warming up after a quick dip in the lake - this is what summers are all about!
After a day filled with fun, food and friends - the sun set and it was time to sit back and relax
What a beautiful sunset!
What a perfect opportunity for some family shots of one of my favorite families!
A sweet moment between Mommy and her newest beautiful girl
It's fireworks time! Someone was excited, and someone else was a little more apprehensive. I'll let you guess which was which!
