When Amanda was barely potty trained (what a great way to start a blog entry, huh?) and the red Subaru was the 'new car' we drove it through New England with our three favorite girls in the back seat. Somewhere near New Hampshire we hiked back to a waterfall and frolicked the afternoon away splashing together as a family. While most of the New England trip is documented on film, there is only one pic of us starting the hike towards the falls, because we ran out of film. So we stored the memories in our minds. Unfortunately, none of the girls retain these memories, and mine is clouded by time and perspective.
Fast forward to yesterday.
We picked Amanda up from college, and had supper at Buttermilk Falls. We arrived in three separate vehicles (none of which was a Subaru :( ) and in addition to the original three girls Amanda brought a roommate, Abi brought her fiance, and Stasi brought her husband. Oh, and Micah Henry's youngest brother-in-law was there. We spent a few hours frolicking in the water. I couldn't find my camera, and Amanda forgot to bring hers. Stasi arrived, took two pictures, neither of which included the falls, and had a dead battery with her camera.
So there are only a few pics captured on cell phones to document the day. Fortunately, I have it stored in my memory.
A few additional thoughts--although the girls are 'all growed up' they remain three of my favorite people, and Amanda left with wet pants.
