Jeremy's summer break comes to an end this week. So, we decided it would be fun to go on a little getaway with a few of his classmates and their families before they begin their rotations. On Sunday afternoon, we all met at Fort Boonesboro State Park for some grilling out and playing beachside at the Kentucky river. We had a lot of fun, although the bees were extremely interested in our cokes! The kids enjoyed playing with all the other kids on the playground, but most of all they enjoyed walking along the edge of the river and playing in the sand. Our kids had never been to a beach before, and although this was a small, man-made beach, it seemed to really impress them. Noah kept talking about how "deep" it was. I guess when your only point of reference is the turtle-shaped sandbox in your backyard, this little beach would seem pretty massive. At the end of the day we were all very exhausted, but had a lot of great memories to think back upon. We always greatly enjoy when our three families can get together. This little group is able to understand one another and the impact that the ups and downs of medical school has on our lives. I'm so glad we get to spend some time together every now and then.
