Thing One and I did a whirlwind to PA trip over a weekend last month. We stayed with my parents and met up with my lifelong bestie. Or tried to. We thought we'd come to her, and she thought she'd come to us, but we finally met up in the same place!
Me waiting for her, above.
Below, all together now!
And these two are just dangerous together!
The next morning we headed to Panera to meet up with some more friends and celebrate one of their birthdays, so that worked out amazingly well timewise! Happy birthday, Rick!
Always a good time with the many variations of this Tribe of mine. They are amazing and Thing One wants to steal them all. You can't steal all my friends! Make your own!
Then it was off to the wedding of some of our camp friends. More Shenanigans ensued:
The cute black and white creation with the hair on the left of the photo below is one of the rarest creatures you'll encounter. It's an Oreo Pegasus made by our friend Clarissa. Years ago when we all worked at camp together, we used a verse in Acts about the Areopagus in Greece. Of course many of the campers gave up trying to pronounce it and we christened it the Oreo Pegasus, which is close enough for government work as well as something they'd remember because it was silly. It turned into our mascot my last summer at camp and even was painted on the staff lounge wall of fame. To be gifted one was a complete surprise and delight! I LOVE it!
Some of you will recognize Tino, Thing One's steadfast stuffy. He's been everywhere and is the reason that Dada has a Tiny Traveling Tino himself. The bride had been Thing One's camp counselor back in the day and had been contacted when Tino went missing. He was found safely, so we wanted to make sure he got to come to the wedding, too!
We had a wonderful weekend, got close to probably 50 hugs in under two full days, and made it safely home again. Thank you to everyone who squeezed us into your schedules!
