The Zoo & The McEwens

I have been trying to get this up for a while now and decided I just need to do it. Shortly after moving to Kennewick we met a family that was very much similar to our own Chad and Brandon (or as Alyssa and I refer to them as "the boyfriends" to each other) are both obsessed with sports and have many similar interests, Dawson and Jaxson are both very busy and enjoy playing (wrestling) together love each other so much, Jett and Jaggar were bound to be the best of friends with their laid back personalities and Alyssa... well what can I say about the two of us... we are pretty much both amazing and truly became the best of friends in a very short period of time. It makes me sad to type this because they have since moved to Utah. For our last hurrah trip we decided to take the 3 day weekend last month and make a trip to Portland and visit the zoo with our families. Our boys (especially Jaxson) are obsessed with animals/dinosaurs and we believe it was pure fate that the dinosaur exhibit opened the exact day that we visited. We had a really fun weekend with our friends and then we came home to the reality that they were really moving... it came much to quickly and they are now gone. I still talk to Alyssa almost daily but I feel sadness each time Dawson says "I want to play with Jaxson" which has since changed to "We can't play with Jaxson... he moved!" which makes me even more sad. One thing that brings me comfort is that we have vowed to visit one another and vacation together... you don't lose good friends. We LOVE the McEwens!
