Parent's Visit

We were unsure if my parents were going to come down after their best friend died the day before they were suppose to leave. Since he didn't really have family they were needed to help with the funeral. But all of their friends told them to go that he wouldn't have wanted them to miss seeing their grand kids. So they left around 2 pm on Thursday and they arrived around 2 pm on Friday.

When they got here mom and I went shopping for the weekend. They couldn't believe how much Cooper has changed in 6 months, as he is now walking. Ciarrah has changed alot since they last saw her she is a big kid now!

On Saturday they wanted to go to the Harley Shop we have here. It's called Horny Toad Harley Davidson. They have a bunch of cartoon toads with names and they wanted to see them. While we were there it was there 2 year anniversary, so they had a band and a bunch of cool stuff. It was a fun afternoon. That night we bbq and played in the pool.

On Sunday, we went to the beach. We took Collin with us as well. We came to find out that he was not allowed near the swimming area. This lake has only one area where you can swim and they have lifeguards and all that. So we didn't stay too long. Poor Collin was having a blast in the water too and didn't want to get out. Now we found out that there is a different lake that they don't have these silly rules, so that is where we are going this weekend!

After the beach we came home and started getting ready for our bbq. Michael was making Korean Ribs and rice. We had potato salad and deviled egss. My friend Amanda and her family came over too. Everyone loved the ribs. Its him mom's recipe and now everyone wants it! It was a great bbq.

Since my mom and step-dad were leaving the next morning, Ciarrah was pretty upset. We took pictures of them with the kids and we did a family picture, minus my brother. We even got Collin to sit in the picture too! It was a great time. We put the kids to bed pretty late like around 9 or so and their bed time is 7. But it was the last-night that they were going to be with them for awhile.

We had a great time and it was sad to see them go. I am hoping that around August before school starts we can go for a visit, not too long of course, but long enough.
