Roner Ready!!

 We were so lucky to have some of our college favorites visit us for a long weekend in July.

The Roner's were one of our first married couple friends, and they just recently moved from Atlanta to upstate New York!

 We seamlessly picked up right where we left off, and the kids became instant buddies/besties/true loves. 

So, basically, it could not have gone any better.

 We spent a beautiful day wakeboarding and tubing on the lake.  

And by tubing, I mean holding on for dear life and praying we didn't die.  

The boys showed no mercy.

 The next day we ferried to Liberty Island to stare at our stunning statue.

 We finished our weekend of fun with a day at the beach.

 These friendships were meant to be. From the very beginning.  And for all time.

 In fact, the Roner's are strictly referred to as our "new cousins," so, family first.

 Golden hour.  Happy day.

8 kids and nearly 15 years later, we are right back where we belong.

Together.
