Tonight Cameron had tennis and Cal had a golf match. Brett was busy searching for jobs, so Meg decided to ride with me to Warsaw. I wanted to catch part of Cal's golf match and Meg wanted to visit the Fitzgeralds. Brooklyn, Avery, Shane and Landry Fitzgerald are the grandchildren of our next door neighbors. Meg and Cameron have been friends with them for quite a few years. During the winter they do not get to spend as much time together as everyone is busy with school, sports, etc.
Lately, however, when one of the boys have an activity in Warsaw Meg texts them to see if she can stop by for a visit. They are always eager to see Meg. Brooklyn is 11 and Avery is 9. The girls enjoy playing Just Dance, riding bikes, rolling down hills and talking about all of the important things going on in their lives. Landry is only two, so she hasn't quite joined the group. For the longest time Shane (now five) had big plans to marry her. I am not sure if he still feels the same, but he definitely tries to join in on all of their adventures.
It has been neat to see their friendship develop. Their grandparents, Rich and Teresa, put their house up on the market a year ago. I remember the disappointment in Meg's voice when she realized that they might be moving and her friends would not be over in the summers. Luckily, for her they haven't left the neighborhood yet. Thus, this summer the Fitzgerald and Heinisch children can Slip N Slide, have picnic lunches, play Wii until all hours of the night, and continue to create memories to last a lifetime.
