Rolling Pins and Writing Quills: Best Friends Re-Unite

Seven Months. It's been seven months since E has seen one of his best friends, Greyson, and since I've seen one of my best friends, Linda. And it's always a good idea to get Dee and Tyler to hang out since they never got much of a chance to spend time together while I lived in Clemson. And Molly, well she is a benefit for anyone who meets her with her red hair and sassy attitude.

I lived across the street from the Tindals my second year in Clemson. It was pretty much a God-send that year for both families, I really believe, and I wouldn't have made it through that year without them. Tyler and Dee never really got to know each other though, because Tyler was in school the first semester and really busy all of the time. He did not come over and visit very much. And the second semester, Tyler was in Charlotte, and Dee was suffering from a few life-threatening situations, preventing him for being up for "hang out" time when Tyler visited. Though there was this one week when Tyler watched Ethan during a snow storm. It involved a snow fort and lots of thermal underwear for the boys. I'm sure that was a bonding moment for everyone involved. I was incapacitated because of some minor surgery and recovery time.

This past weekend was the designated time to remedy the problem that these boys hadn't been together in entirely too long. And being the over-achiever parents we sometimes all tend to be, the four adults decided to meet at Carowinds for a crazy afternoon of Halloween theme park rides and roller coasters.

Carowinds was everything the boys had hoped it would be, and Linda and I got plenty of time to catch up. We've decided the next get together needs to be more low-key, but the kids loved it and had fun. Needless to say, everyone was exhausted afterwards. Molly even fell asleep on Dee's shoulders on the way back out to the car.
