Roommate Reunion

Ryan had the best apartment in college. They all had so much fun together. They went on canoe trips, had weekly bonfires, camping trips, cave exploring, date nights, bath night...haha and of course pranks all the time and most important they had nightly roommate prayer. Not only that, but 3 of the 5 of them started dating their spouse the same semester. That means the girls are friends too! So about a year ago when it was suggested that we do a roommate reunion this summer we were all on board! On the first of July we all met up at school and had lunch together-all of us were breaking the dress code.. oops.. beards, flip flops, shorts and capris.. but no one said anything.

Then we headed up to our cabin in Island Park, shared a dinner and did birthday presents (little G man turned 4) than let the kids play. Later we put the kids to bed, set up the baby monitor and all hopped in the hot tub! I was surprised at how easy it was. The kids didn't fight and it felt like we have just always been hanging out together.

Saturday we got up and drove up to Cliff Lake in Montana. We had a blast playing near the water and canoeing/rafting. A few of the men used the rope swing. When we got back to the cabin we had dinner and then gave the men some man time out by the fire while all the ladies stayed inside, listening to children cry I mean get ready for bed. The boys came in and invited us to hot tub with them and we eventually joined them.

Sunday we attended the Island Park Ward and then enjoyed the company of the most newly wed roommate (he couldn't get the whole weekend off but was able to join us for dinner and games. We tried to occupy the kids for the afternoon with snacks and a movie..

Monday we got up cleaned up, took the equal of family pictures and went our separate ways. We plan on doing something again in the future. Ryan drove home to Washington and I went south with the boys.
