You know, it was so good meeting up with everyone at Lake Elkhorn. Truly a treat. It's so interesting to me that I didn't get to know some of you better while i lived in Columbia. What a FANTASTIC group of women you are! I am so glad I've gotten to know you all better over the blogosphere!
Lake Elkhorn is one of my favorite places in Columbia. Where our house was situated made it an easy walk to the lake and back. And Bode was such an outdoors kid that we walked around the lake, stopping to play at the playground, on nearly a daily basis. I remember when we decided to move to Colorado and I was walking around the lake taking mental pictures of all the things i loved about it. The people we passed, the many dogs, the flowers people planted, the heron and many other birds we sighted, the incredible diversity, the dogwoods and cherry trees in full bloom, the little exercise stations where Bode had to stop and play, the ducks and geese to feed, the playground of course, the Asian couple who did their tai chi every morning while Bode dug endlessly in the sandbox. It was a lovely place to have in my own backyard and I'm so glad that we took advantage of it!
So I was thrilled to be able to meet these wonderful women and their kids at a place so dear to my heart. To see Bode play with everyone made me so happy! It was fun to introduce Keegen to this place. He was thrilled by the geese, to say the least (until one got a little close and trembly and I was certain it was ready to peck!).
It was so fun to see everyone and catch up. Our kids are growing up so fast--it's fun to catch a glimpse of you and yours along the way!

You're right, it is a beautiful lake! Shay and I rode bikes around it the other day and I wished I lived a little closer to it!!
It was so fun to see you Ashlee! You and your cute boys are darling! Thanks for the fun morning!
That is funny, isn't it. I wonder if you would have seen any of us without the blogging world. How I love it!
It was so great to meet by the lake!! I too am so grateful for our little blogosphere!! It has been lovely to get to know you better and find out just how much we have in common!! Hope the rest of your trip is grand!! :)
That sounds like a lovely morning. I remember seeing the Tai Chi couple too. I love Lake Elkhorn. No matter where we move to once we're back in Maryland, it will remain a favorite destination.
Ditto back, friend.
I had SUCH a lovely time that day. I'm so glad we got to see each other and that the kids could see each other too. They're so much more grown up!!
