Krissy getting married reminded be of the good 'ol days of when the kids used to play house. Back then we lived at 201 E Prairie and McFees lived on Mulberry - a scant 3 or 4 blocks from each other. The kids got together quite a bit for play dates.
Kimmy, of course would come with her cute little pink Barbie case - full of weapons! Jud and she loved their collections of plastic knives, sticks and the large wooden swords they got when we attended the Renaissance Festival in KC. Why would parents allow kids to get wooden swords you ask? Good question! But we did and nobody lost an eye or nothin'
We had a great Little Tykes kitchen set - oven and stove top, with dishes fake food etc. There was even a phone on the side. Lots of pretend fun - I ate a lot of empty calories from that kitchen! Krissy and Amy were very precise and intense about their play - Kim and Jud not so much, much to the older girls' irritation at times.
Other times A&K would be in stealth mode, spying on the youngsters as they played their little hearts out - pretending to "get" bageyes" a/k/a bad guys. Until Jud realized Kim was really a chick, she was his best buddy - it's too bad it had to end.
I think the Goldsmith kids and the McFee kids will always be friends - due to their shared history, even though as the years went by during junior high and then high school separate interests took the four of them in different directions. Funny the four of them ended up at good 'ol ISU. It was fun to have them all together again - even if briefly at the wedding this past weekend.

Aww... good memories! I like the description of Amy and I's playing as "precise and intense." Little perfectionists already at work. :)
ah, those were the good old days...we cooked up some of the most delicious pretend food i've ever had.
