University Kids Social Group

We've been pretty lucky with Cole's friends at University Kids.  For some reason, Cole's best friends are awesome, and their parents are even better.  His best friend is, of course, Isak.  I am forever beset by requests to play with Isak and his little brother, Henry.  Luckily, Bill and Carrie are fantastic and so it's always a good time to hang out.  They were such life-savers on the day we moved, from when I called her in a panic about keeping the boys busy, to when they whisked Jack and Cole off to their house for water gun fights, playing in the backyard tent, a trip to the park, and ice cream bars for dessert.  We are lucky to have these guys.
 One of our favorite families is the Steele's.  (Seriously, super hero last name, right?)  Cayden and Cole get along so well, and Beckett and Jack play too, so everyone is happy.  Matt & Tiffanie are amazing jet-setters who are always up to something fun or going somewhere cool.  We feel more hip just by hanging out with them.  :)  

The Aquarium - I mean really, Cole makes the goofiest faces!

Popsicle Time!
 Freeze like a statue....
Wheeler Farm - the balloon swords were a big hit.  (And they don't look dirty at all, right?) 
And just this past weekend, we went over to Hamilton's house, which was a new adventure.  Hamilton's dad, Daniel, is uber hip, has a website called "The Dapper Traveler," and collects vintage pipes.  Hamilton's mom, Lina, is from Sweden and has her own traveling fun.  They just bought a new home in Midvale, which has some run-down sheds in the back they will be tearing out.  They gave the boys hammers, nails, and cans of spray point.  Cole and Jack contributed slightly to the mayhem.
It will be sad to know that, come August, these boys will all break away to different schools.  I'm hoping that I can hang on to their moms and dads, though!

Good times! It is so nice when your kids have good friends and a huge plus when you like the parents too. :)
