259: time with the Groh's

I am so thankful that the timing worked out to see and get to spend time with the Groh's. They planned their family vacation week for this week in Florence. I was originally bummed when they told me because Florence is so close to Eugene, but it's three and a half hours from Brookings - that's a tough trip with two small girls. But it worked out fantastically because Kevin and I decided to come up to Eugene this weekend for a couple of races. I left one day early and drove to Florence with the girls and got to hang out with the Groh's before finishing the drive to Eugene that night. It was so so great to get to see them all. I haven't seen Shannon, Chris, and their kids since just before Kinsley turned one. And I haven't seen Brad and Megan or Debbie and Dan since Brad and Megan's wedding reception a few weeks before Kinsley was born! 4 years! That seems crazy and not possible. But we finally were able to connect and we spent all afternoon and evening together and it was great. The girls had a blast sledding down the sand dunes and playing with Cooper and Callie and hanging out. And I had a blast spending time with some of my absolute favorite people on the planet.
