Bailey and Maya go way back. They were together in Ethiopia at the same care center. Since coming home, we have made a point to stay in touch. Amy and Steve have flown back twice to attend the EKC Mehaber and now it was our turn to visit them. We love these guys very much and couldn't imagine our lives without them. I just wish we lived closer!
We had a great time while visiting. The first day we just hung out, relaxed, and visited. The next day we took off to the Jersey Shore in the city of Sea Isle. Steve's parents have a fabulous place a block from the ocean which made our trip so easy. We have the lakes and they have the ocean. So different and so very cool!
Makenna is excited for the trip!
Maya got to have slumber party with Bailey. Aren't they precious?

Makenna LOVED the water!
Amy and me - love her!
Makenna's favorite moment on the entire trip was riding the horsie. Late at night on the way home from the shore, Makenna said out of the blue "I rode horsie". She was so proud and really loved it. This made me so happy knowing my girls had a terrific time.
Maya had a great time at the mini amusement park. I think she rode on every single ride and would have kept going if we didn't force her to leave. Look at that smile!
Bailey's grandpa took one for the team and took the girls on the Tilt-a-whirl. This ride makes me sick to my stomach so I was glad to be the one taking the picture.
Stay tuned for more of our trip...I especially wanted to blog about it as it was a terrific vacation for our family. I also want to remember it well and have it included in our family blog.
