A [smallish] CHS reunion

Suski and Jenny.
We were exchange students at Capital High School in Olympia, WA 20 years ago.
All these years we've kept in touch.
And visited each other (she lives in Germany).
She and her daughter were my guests last week.

You know what was really funny?
I met them at the airport, drove home and when I checked my mail, I found this:

Talk about good timing.

So naturally we got on the website and dug out my old yearbook.
Put names with faces, really kinda wished we could go, but only if our sweet, bohemian lunch corner group was going:

(Tawny, you'll remember my weird crowd...)
We never ate in the lunchroom.. noooo.. that was why this lunch corner evolved.
Shawna, Deb, Heidi, Greg and Chad...and a few more names.

We had a good time reminiscing. And laughing...
(And trying to decipher that full four pages you wrote in my yearbook, Tawny girl... no wait, make that five..)

But it wasn't only our reunion.
Our girls last saw each other a year ago when Saara visited Hamburg.

Saara is only four dys older than Fenja.

They played Sims.

On our picnic to Suomelinna we met some curious young ducks.

We got some sun that day... I came home resembling Rudolph the Rednosed Reindeer..

My nose almost glowed.

We also got sun when we visited Serena Waterpark.

No photos from there, but the kiddos had a blast.

We saw some happy horses bouncing around my yard.

Or bored little horses...

..and one proud trainer.

Look, they match!

We hit the final sales and got the girls some fabulous deals at 70% off.

All in all it was a good week.

Now who would go be a fly on the wall at that reunion for us though....
