After some morning crafting fun with friends {I forgot to take pics of the girls & their projects} we headed to Jackson to roller skate with the cousins.
The skating rink has been around since I was a kid {& it's pretty much exactly the same since I made many childhood memories there myself}.
Some things never change.
I got in some chat time with my sweet SIL & MIL in between hysterically laughing at the kiddos' attempts to stay upright & on all 8 wheels and watching them make their own fun memories.
After surviving our skating experience with only minimal bumps & bruises to show for our time in the rink, we caught up with friends we hadn't seen in 2 years.
It took exactly 2 minutes to make up for time lost before I heard giggles from the girlies and, well..... Austin disappeared upstairs with the other guys before I was barely in the back door.
Later, we headed to a local lake for some swimming, knee boarding, & kayaking. The kiddos left the water long enough to inhale their pizza while the adults enjoyed a front row seat to a gorgeous summer sunset.
As we lingered at the beach I caught myself thinking. These are my people.
And it's good to be back.
