Visitors

We had our first visitors this week! My parents came out from Washington for a few days over the holiday weekend. We got to the airport a little early so we hung around the baggage claim area. When we saw them the excitement from our kids was heard throughout the airport. They both yelled "Grammy! Bunka!" and went running for them. It was a priceless moment I wish I could've captured on video. As always the visit didn't feel long enough but we packed a few things into our days.
We took them to a local minor league baseball game, hit up the local doughnut shop, and did a little school clothes shopping. Thanks to my awesome step dad we were able to get some electrical stuff figured out around here. It's very handy to know an electrician, especially one who takes payments in hot fresh doughnuts! Unfortunately the kids got sick during their stay but it didn't slow them down any. Our son got to work on some sports stuff which his Bunka specializes in. We like to refer to it as Bunka Bootcamp. Afternoons spent running and playing football and basketball were some of the highlights, as well as getting to help Bunka with some projects around the house.
My mom was able to lend me some decorating help and put together my front porch fall decorations for me as my house warming gift. I can't wait for her to come back and give me some more advice and help because I am lacking in that department. After a fun-filled three days with them we had to say goodbye and take them back to the airport. As always it was hard to say goodbye. In the car on the way home our son asked three times when they would return. After our daughter woke from her nap she went upstairs to look in the room they had slept in calling out for them as if they were playing hide-and-go-seek with her. To her disappointment they never came out and I had to remind her we had dropped them to the airport that morning. We look forward to more visits from them and hopefully others soon!
