After a quick visit and one last goodbye with Grandma Rita we headed to Frederick, MD to visit with the Hasenbuhler family. They were our very dear friends in TX and they moved to Maryland not quite 6 years ago. We’ve kept in touch and we’re all thrilled to be reunited for a short while. It was a pretty quiet and low-key day of just catching up. We hit the pool for a bit in the afternoon, probably the best neighborhood pool i’ve Ever been in. This pool had slides, basketball hoops, a vortex, volleyball net, even a lazy river that floated under a little bridge. Not to mention a huge splash pad area for little kids and a nice deep pool for playing and lap swimming. Admittedly, we spent the entire time floating around and around the lazy river!
We spent the evening playing with Jason’s very cool retro toys. He’s got an impressive collection of early gaming systems and we had a blast playing on a Commodore 64 and an Atari. We also got to play with his newer toys. It was our first experience with a virtual reality system. That was pretty wild. Pretty funny to watch the person in the headset too!
It was a light weight day on the trip but a really nice break not quite at the halfway mark.
Almost forgot, my boys and their daughter used to be the best of friends and played together constantly. All were pretty young when our friends left Texas. While they had a few memories and definitely recognized each other there was still a moment of shyness at reuniting. Within minutes though all were having a blast again. Their youngest was just a baby when they left, he had no memory of us. But, he’s turned into this super cute and fun little dude. Hopefully he’ll remember us now. Hopefully it won’t be another 6 years before the next visit.
