Friday afternoon we arrived in our ol' Kentucky home! It feels so good to be back! We unloaded our things at the student center where we're staying and swung by Subway to pick up a few sandwiches for supper before going to meet some friends. It felt completely appropriate that we would walk in the doors and immediately bump into someone we would know!
As for who we would be spending Friday night and Saturday with, let me back up a few weeks. It hadn't been that long after the Santors returned home from Albania when they contacted us to ask us when we would be in Kentucky this summer. They wanted to coordinate a camping trip here during our days in the Bluegrass so we could have one more time together. They decided to come up our first weekend here and chose to stay at a campground on the Kentucky River, not far outside of Jessamine County.
Being on the river brought back tons of memories on our kayaks!
The kids had just mentioned earlier in the day that they wanted to go fishing this summer. Little did they know they'd only have to wait a few hours! (We kept our meet-up with the Santors a surprise).
So that's what a live fish feels like!
That's about all the further out Reni got on the tube...
Beautiful Haley with some golden sunlight!
Poor Andrew got a "makeover" from Reni and Tobin.
Then it was off to pick up their nerf gun wars from where they left off in the village!
The Santors were accompanied by Jen's sister, brother-in-law and niece, as well as a college friend who drove down from northern Indiana. What a nice, relaxing Saturday!
Thanks, everyone, for making us feel so loved and special! What a fun way to kick off our days in our adopted home state!
