Bennett Meets Colin!!

So when I started this blog I had no idea of the "friends" I would make through the many other blogs I follow. There truly are some wonderful people that I would love to meet one day along with their adorable children! Well, Sunday we got to do just that- we met Colin and his mommy and daddy, Kelli and Chris from Love For Colin!! We drove down to the beach and spent the day with this cute little boy and had so much fun!

At first the boys had to check each other out, you know poke faces, pull hats and then try to pull off their own hat;)
And then it was like they had known each other for years! Just look at Colin's hand on Bennett's shoulder!
Me and my bub.

Colin has mastered the clap and every once in a while he would get Bennett to sorta clap. Colin also had this adorable laugh, although a tad loud for Bennett's taste- a couple of times Bennett would just look at Colin after he laughed loud and would stick out his pouty lip to cry-LOL-it was hilarious!
The girls had a blast as well! They were so excited to put on their suits and play in the sand!

Here I am with Colin- he is too sweet!
It was so nice meeting Kelli and Chris-definitely have to do it again!

As the day came to a close we were able to catch up with an old friend of ours from college- Mike's college roommate Pat and his wife Kate and their son Grayson! We haven't seen Pat in over 8 years, maybe longer so it was really nice to see him again and it happened at the last minute but so cool that it worked out. And they will live just around the corner from Kelli and Chris when they move! Such a small world! We didn't get a picture though:( but I think we'll be back to the beach now that we have 2 sets of friends to visit!

Thanks again Kelli, Chris and Colin for such a fun day at the beach!

  12. oh my! all 4 of those kiddos are adorable!! their sweet faces and those swim suits are super cute. It looks like there's been a few online gatherings this week. Glad it was a nice visit for you. There's a girl at Marissa's daycare that cries a little loud for her and she always gives her an annoyed look, haha. At least she doesn't cry back at her. :-)
