Because People That Have Known You Since You Were 13 Are The Very Best People

Ten adults, five children, one hell of a weekend

Every winter, my high school girlfriends and I get our families together for a weekend getaway. We've been doing girls-only sleepovers for the past 10 years, but we decided a few years ago that we wanted to get our husbands and kiddos in on the fun. So we all converge on a condo-style suite in the Wisconsin Dells for food, fun, swimming, and (once the kids are in their pajamas asleep) drinking.

The craziness quotient has increased exponentially since we started adding kids to the mix, but it's an absolute blast. The kids play. We lounge, laugh and cook for one another. We splash in the water park and play the Newlywed Game. We remind ourselves of why old friends (and their families) are some of the very best people in the world.

Cheers to a great weekend, guys! I can't wait for next year.
