We had the BEST week in Nebraska with 3 of my college friends and their families. It was loads of work, we knew it would be. We spent 5 nights in Mahoney State Park as Dave and I knew the lay of the land and were excited about the abundance of family friendly activities within a short drive of the park.
Leanne and Joe rented a camper next to ours while Becky and Stacy stayed in a State Park cabin about a mile up the road. Our kids woke each morning and immediately found the Gehlens and the fun began. Shortly after, we were connected with the cabin crew. We swam, hiked, biked, picnicked, found a waterfall to play in at Platte River State Park, found the floating playground (two times) in Louisville State Rec Area, had campfires, s'mores, moonlit movies, and above all, spent some much overdue time with each other while the kids developed sweet relationships with one another, above all, this was the highlight for me.
Hey! Let's meet in the middle-ish! What a life. xoxoxoxo
It was worth all of the hard work, but I think it's safe to say, the next gathering will be a mom's only get together. ;) And hopefully it will work for those who couldn't swing NE, fingers crossed.
