It's amazing the things that can change in 10 years (especially haircuts!). I love these pictures. They're the heart and soul of our family. They detail the moments that made us a family. Puppy love. Lint fires. Deer antlers. S'mores and pie pans over the fire. The dollar game.
I'm pretty positive that if we took the boys back to the same cabin, we'd be doing the same thing. Shaking bags of ice cream, playing euchre and hunting for dollar bills behind picture frames. Hunter would be laying on the front porch looking for the puppy and Will would be trying to swim in the hot tub. There would be horseshoes and badminton in the yard, a radio playing a little loudly and four voices singing at the top of their lungs. And I guarantee the songs would have something to do with pirates, unicorns or alligator swamps.
Not a summer goes by that I don't miss those moments. But I've learned to cherish the new ones...the five minute phone calls, the snap chats and text messages. They mean just as much. And one day, we'll go back...with their kids and it'll all start again.
