We had such a nice time there today. The girls got on with life as if they'd hardly missed a beat although of course there were huge gaps in our shared experiences. I imagine that feeling comfortable enough to relax and open up with someone (let's call it friendship) is more about trust than about shared experience - and although the intervening year had affected the latter we were largely able to pick up where we left off. As for what made it easy for the girls, your guess might be as good as mine - maybe they're not so different from us in their way.
We left, well fed but getting tired, to complaints amongst the kids and a some sad faces. For my part I am happy that 11 months seems shorter looking back than it seemed looking ahead.
I have to say that Exile1 has a particularly cheesy grin going on in that picture!!!!
