Today is Jaelyn's moving day.
When Avery and Jaelyn started playing together we would lift one or the other over the fence. Soon this became hard on our backs and Jaelyn's dad built a "ladder bridge" over the fence. For the last 3 years a phone call would be made between the two, some begging to parents to please let them play, and always hearing Avery end the call with " I'll meet you at the fence".
Snow shoes, umbrellas, swimsuits - whatever was necessary and they were set to go.
She isn't even moving out of town. They have it timed to a 4 minute drive, but it's nothing like being able to pop over the fence.
I had to get a few pictures...
