P365 - 2014 - Day 187 - tradition

We marked the passing of another year with a visit from our friends.  How is it that these kids all seem to be getting older when we as parents simply stay the same? ;-)  One, a high school graduate - off to college in August, one going to be a high school sophmore, two going into 6th grade, and one going into 4th grade! They are a reminder of how long we have known each other and how many years we have been meeting at the beach to touch base, catch up, chat, and laugh.  I wish we had started the tradition of the yearly picture all those summers ago when it was just 4 of us... but glad we did start the tradition.  "Where should we take the picture this year?" I asked.  "In front of the stairs!  That's the tradition!" the kids all said.  Yes, it is.... :-) Here's to another year, another picture, and hopefully many more years of meeting at the beach! xo
