Rasmussen/Maxfield Reunion

Heidi (bff from dental school days) and I finally got our schedules together! It only took us 9 months. Sad. Mia and I drove the shortish (under 3 hours) trip to Richmond, VA. Mia was great and just watched Caillou and Dora and was amazingly content in the car. We stayed from Monday to Wednesday and it was short but really fun.

Owen and Mia really hit it off. I was shocked at how well they got along. I think mainly it's because Owen has the best temperament of any toddler I've ever met. Mia always wants to play with kids her age but they are more into playing alone so the fact that Owen is older and more social really appealed to Mia. They played and played and played. It was so nice not to have to police them the whole time. The weather was great so we stayed outside a lot and went to the Children's Museum which was awesome. We went for walks and the highlight of the trip for me was going to Penn Station. I have really missed that place! It was so fun to just hang out with Heidi again. I miss all my Louisville ladies.

I of course forgot my camera so all the pictures you see below are from my cell phone. The ride home was a sad one and Mia kept crying and saying "Miss Owen". She still says Owen all the time. Thanks Maxfields for an awesome trip! I can't wait for the next one! Now I am ready for some more reunions. You know who you are! Bueller? Bueller?

The first night and already best buddies.

See Owen's patience with Mia? Yes, she likes to be close to the TV.

They would play this game where they would dig up dirt under the deck and then dump it by the house. They played this game for an amazingly long time.

At the Children's Museum playing in the water.

They slid down the slide 100 times together.

I could eat these kids UP!!

The hit of the museum. We found those blue foamie pellets in their diapers afterwards.

Too funny.

Sadie and Mia ready for a walk.

Oooooh heaven is a place on earth. A place called Penn Station.
