This past week was full of activity: trick or treating, Eli and Maddie's birthday, and Mike's official installation service at the church. It was all made more special because both sets of our parents made the trip out to be here for all the activities!
As if there were not enough festivities already, we packed in the rest of the grandparent visit with other fun things. And it made for a really full, amazing week :)
My parents arrived on Wednesday, and we made a trip to Target so that Eli and Maddie could shop for their birthday. It was an adventure in itself {aisles of toys to choose from?!?!}, and somehow Aiden walked away with a gift too {because his birthday gift from August wasn't big enough haha}.
That night, the kids had a bonfire at the church for Pioneer Girls and the Father/Son program, so my parents came with me to help prep and serve the s'mores!
Granny and Grumpz arrived later that afternoon, and the excitement levels were complete! :) On Friday we went to the Museum of the Bible. We were generously gifted tickets to tour the museum through a connection at DTS, and we had a wonderful time! They really have some wonderful exhibits, and we had a great afternoon.
After a weekend of birthday and church celebrations, we went to Cox Farms on Monday. Going to the Fall Festival has become a tradition, and it's always fun to share it with grandparents! Hay rides, slides, corn maze, tractors, apple cider donuts, farm animals, and pumpkins. I'm pretty sure everyone left happy :)
We are so thankful for both sets of our parents and their willingness to make the trip to see us. We had a great week, full of fun and laughter, and we made some great memories. We already miss them, and can't wait until the next trip!
