It's tirelessly cliche' to say how times have changed once you have kids. But I can't help it. We used to get together about once a year in Galena with friends. We feasted regardless of the clock, cemented ourselves to the premises, played cards until the wee hours and enjoyed certain beverages for the majority of the stay. And we always had a fabulous, memorable time.
Well, we may have had three squares and a handful of fairly healthy snacks. We may have had three outdoor adventures, all involving the properties of melting snow and bare earth. We may have had only two (incredibly delicious) martinis. We may have all been asleep by eleven. But there's something to be said for the clattering play of three active boys and the collective parenting among friends. It's not what it used to be, but no way would we change it.
Until the guys head out for a poker party this summer.
