The Berkshires

These Friends.

They have been friends with us, for just about as long as Joshua and I have been friends with each other. They have also directed several of our major life events. They both served as emcees at our wedding, and Danielle was the labor coach at Sophia's birth.

This summer we got to spend several days at a cabin in the Berkshire Mountains with them.

We talked politics and religion, played games, and ate ice cream. Our two month old and eleven month old babies sort of played together.

We also did a lot of this:

But my favorite moment of all, was when Danielle informed me on our last morning that we were going to "make a memory" and suggested we go swimming in the lake in the pouring rain while the menfolk watched the kids.

We were clearly the only ones in the lake, and it was the most I had felt like being a kid, since having had one.
