Pineville Playdate

While we were in Louisiana, we drove 2 hours south from Shreveport to Pineville and met up on Sunday, July 26th, with Scarlett, Damon, and their daughter-Stella, Kelli and her daughter-Olivia, Angel and her daughters-Sarah Grace, and Carrie Beth at the Louisiana College campus. Scarlett was my roommate in college and my matron of honor in my wedding. Kelli and I have been friends since college and the same goes for Angel. Angel was also my Big Sis in our dorm and we were in the same sorority.
When we arrived, we let the girls play for a while and then went to get some BBQ and head back to Jen S.'s house. Jen is a great friend of Scarlett's. She and her husband were so nice to let us hang out at their house with their twin girls. Here are some photos from the event:
At LC-Audrey in the parking lot by Hattie B's (the cafeteria) and in front of English Village housing:

Some of the girls and Damon on the Tudor housing lawn/sidewalk. Can you tell by the fog on my lens how humid it was that day??
Audrey following Sarah Grace to Tudor Hall (the boys dorm)?? Thankfully the summer means the campus is nearly empty!

Stella and Audrey during lunch:

Carrie Beth, Sarah Grace, Olivia, and Audrey trying to get a grasp on a kitten. Check out Audrey's curls...her hair got so curly in that Louisiana humidity! I loved it!

Carrie Beth, Sarah Grace, and Olivia cheesin':Outside, Scarlett holding Audrey while she waits her turn to ride in the Barbie car...I was trying to get a good shot of Audrey's curls:
Sarah Grace giving Audrey a ride:

Audrey didn't mind who drove her around just as long as she was able to ride along. So Sarah Grace let her sister do the driving and they all checked out the little "radio" inside:
It was so wonderful hanging out with all of these ladies and their little ones. It was a blessing to be able to see them again especially when it had been a few years since I had seen some of them and had a chance to meet some of their daughters for the first time. Thanks to Jen S. for opening her home to us and letting our daughters play in their daughters' room and with all of their toys, the Barbie car, and the kittens. She was a wonderful hostess!
I can't wait to see all of these ladies again and we hope to make this a habit when we travel to Louisiana again...next time E will come along too!
