After our big move last summer, we were thrilled when Nick made a best friend at his new school last year. Sam and his family had just moved to Denver from Wisconsin, so maybe they bonded over their common midwestern upbringing. Unfortunately, Sam's family moved to Evergreen (about an hour west of us) at the end of school. Boy, did they miss each other once school was out! Finally this week we were able to get the best buddies together at the Denver zoo. Nick and Sam were sooo excited to see each other again, and the silliness started almost immediately! There was non-stop talking about Spiderman and Star Wars, while running around the zoo on a steamy 101 degree day. Ellie did great, she managed to keep up with the boys and Sam's sister Rachel for almost the entire trip. We did stop for ice cream to cool off, which Ellie ended up wearing for the rest of the day. The babies slept in their strollers the whole time (William and Sam's baby sister Kate), so apparently they don't mind the heat.
