Northern CA Trip, Day 5

This morning I got to go spend time with three kids I used to babysit when I was in high school.


Oh wait, they're not kids anymore.

Flannery is 19, Mackenzie is 21, and Keaton is 17!

Also, they're way more to me than just people I babysat... we were friends, even back then when they were little. And their parents were real friends to me, too. Their family meant a lot to me.

I had the best time talking to all of them. I only wish we got to hang out more often.

In the afternoon, we went to see my parents' new property where they'll be building a house.


We strolled around downtown Grass Valley a bit.


{The library! I spent so many hours there when I was a kid.}

We ate kebabs for dinner. Yum.

And then got frozen yogurt with Jonathan, Jenn, Christopher, Stephanie, and Michael.

And ended the evening with a card game with Mom, Dad, and Christopher.

Home to Boston tomorrow.

Why is summer almost over?
