Meeting up with friends ...

Payton, Kennedy and Nika

One of my favorite things about being on this journey called Down syndrome is all the friends I have made across the nation ... well, across the world, really. We just have an unspeakable bond with each other, that just doesn't come anywhere else.

Earlier this week, we had the chance to meet up with our friends, the Garcia family. It was just a short visit as they passed through town, but fun nonetheless. The kids had a great time playing together and we have concluded that Kameron and Mason are one in the same ... crazy little boys!

    Awww these are such great pics! I'm taking it none of your group shots turned out?! I haven't looked through mine yet, they're the last of my 600! LOL I'm getting there slowly though! I will send you the raw images and see what you can do with them! We had so much fun! I hope I got some of the boys together, but I don't think I did either... they were off having fun the whole time. Hmmm...
