Grandma and Grandpa T

Chris' parents came to town and we got to have them for a whole week.  It's always so nice to have people around so I can have adult conversations and another set of hands.  Plus the kids love their grandparents.  When I dropped them off at the airport to go home Eliza started crying and kept saying "nama" (grandma) over and over. 

We had a lot of fun while they were here

Cordon was getting over the flu and he was getting pretty tired after all the walking around at the aquarium

This game is my favorite part of the aquarium.  It's Frogger that you do with your feet.  It's incredibly addicting.





Grandma put Cordon to bed several nights.  She is a great story teller

Grandma and Grandpa bought us a rake.  Mary was very patient and re-raked a pile of leaves several times. Then those wonderful people raked and bagged all the leaves in the yard for me. 


 Every time I ask Cordon what his favorite part about seeing Grandma and Grandpa T is, he always says going on walks.   I'm not sure why Cordon is in the stroller and Eliza is walking.


We went to a children's museum and spent a good amount of time in the dancing room.  You dance in front of a screen and see color images of yourself.  This is Cordons favorite place to go and he loved showing it to Grandpa and Grandma

We went to a Wright Brothers Museum and we got to play on a flight simulator.  It was like flying an original Wright Brothers airplane.  I made it about a minute before I killed myself by crashing into a tree.  I like to blame that on my co-pilot Cordon.  John and Mary made it the full three minutes that the simulator goes.
