Water World (Without Kevin Costner)

Yesterday the big boys were driven up to north Denver by our neighbors for a day of water slides, lazy rivers, wave pools and friendship at Water World.  It was a little last hurrah for our boys and their buddies, the Simonds boys.  In 7 days they move to Africa for missionary work at a Nigerian orphanage.  Awesome that the Nigerian orphans are getting this amazing family.  Sad for us to lose them.  The youngest three of their seven kids have been some of my boys favorite playmates since we moved here.  Josiah (11) is just two days older than Zac; Ben and Micah (9), both 4th graders, are sworn best buddies; and Ryan (9) and Josh, although not the same age, happily play together nearly every day.

It was a great for them all to spend an extra-special day together before the big move.  They will be missed terribly!
