A visit from Mom and Dad


This month, my parents made the extremely boring, long, 15 hour drive to Utah to give us and the Finch's some love. We had a great 10 days! And we sure did our best to make sure they wouldn't miss us too much when they left... Lucky Mom and Dad got to...

- sleep in our unfinished basement on a air mattress
- wake up to loud kids at 7 am
- cook us meals
- work on our rfi event
- come to and watch numerous soccer games 
- wash our car
- mow our yard
- sweep our basement
- fix our car... (which seriously would have blown up any day if Dad didn't come rescue us).

It must be so fun to go on vacation to visit your kids:) Probably a little expensive too. haha.

Despite all the work they did,we had lots of time for blowing bubbles, reading books, swimming, floating the river, going on walks, playing games, making jam, visiting family, and eating good food. The Finch's made sure they got to enjoy some sane time away too- hiking, shopping, and fishing trips.

You guys sure wore us out!
Ten days went by too fast. They left. We were lonely. Its been two weeks and we are still lonely. Who wants to come visit us now? The basement is nice and swept free of spiders...all ready for another comfy air mattress.
