Amanda meets all the Campers!

Five of us from college have gotten together about every summer since and called it "Camp Lane." Camp couldn't be up in Michigan this year where it usually is but we were all able to get together in Indiana at Ories for a quick couple of days. Five mamas and seven adorable little girls. It was SO MUCH FUN!
Amanda and Fiona having fun together. Amanda LOVED all of Ione and Fiona's very cool toys!
Ione had to work really hard with all the guests in her house!
Leah and Hannie having fun! Leah came all the way from Traverse City MI and Hannie and her mommy picked us up from the airport and poor Elliott had to drive back and forth from her house to Ories five times because she was getting ready to start school (this is about a 2 - 3 hour drive depending on traffic). THANK YOU!!!!

All 7 little girls together...We have waited for this for a LONG time and it meant THE WORLD to me that all my dear friends took time out of their very very busy schedules to make sure they met Amanda for her first trip back to the USA. Thank you girls!


Amanda and Sydney busy playing
Orie made her famous French Silk Pie...Leah showed Amanda the ropes for getting some early tastes of it.
Amanda looking up at Leah in pure admiration

Orie getting in on spoiling Amanda...
Lane's turn to give Amanda a bite of whip cream! Amanda was having SUCH a good time:-)

Orie pulled out all the stops--she knew I couldn't say no!

One happy sugar filled little girl


Hugs all around!
Amanda chatting with Livee. Thanks for doing all that driving in one day Livee even though you do NOT like the car!!

Amanda LOVED hanging out with Brad! Must be those Bad Cats books!


First time playing with the Wii


Amanda got to meet Ione and Fiona's grandpa, Pop. She told him she liked all the cool toys he has gotten for the girls, especially the pink car!
THANK YOU Orie for a WONDERFUL stay! We had SO much fun and can't believe all we did in those couple of days. Can't wait to see all of you again soon!!

  2. Ahhh! They make me smile too! We loved having you all visit. I wish we could buy up the block and all be neighbors! Can't wait to see you in Nov. We're missing sweet little Amanda and her wonderful mommy (it'll be nice to see you too, Mox)!
