Jakes good old friend Phil and his wife Christy, and daughter Josie came for a visit this week. Jake wanted to relive his youth and so he obtained some Iron Maiden tickets. They went out for the night while we (the wives) entertained the kiddos and watched my favorite chick flick... The Notebook. Christy had not seen it and I couldn't help but take that opportunity to share this wonderful romance. Ofcourse she LOVED it. We then spent the next few days they were here showing them some sights. We went to the Santa Barbara Zoo and per their request we checked out the La Brea Tar Pits ( I had been there once as a child and it is just as I had remembered it, only the "what if I were to fall in" scenerio switched to "what if Brooklyn were to fall in". The fear is still there it just shifted a bit). Overall we had a great time catching up and Brooklyn loved having this new friend sleep over for a few nights. They are only a few months apart in age and they took really quickly to each other. We are grateful for the enduring friendships that we have that time and distance cannot break. Hopefully now we can start to see each other more often and enjoy more great times together.
