Grandparents!

Iowa Nana and Papa came to visit for a couple of days.  Liliana had been anticipating the event for days, and was constantly asking how many 'sleeps' we had until they arrived.  She woke up on Thursday and startled us both with something that sounded like a rebel yell, then charged into our bedroom yelling, "NanaPapaDay! NanaPapaDay!".

It was a blast! We hung out, we walked in the creek...  We thoroughly enjoyed the visit and were sad when they had to go.

Try as we might, we can't read The Sneetches like Papa

Lils demonstrating her fashion sense.

Lils demonstrating her fashion sense... with flair!

I love me some beautiful nature...

Papa explaining how you can navigate using rocks.  Katie seems... dubious.

Pioneer women, charting a course...



I think it was a worm... Lilie said it tasted kinda salty.



Nana spotted this crawdad - he was huge!

At this point, Lilie had donked Katie in the chest with the walking stick.  We decided Lils didn't need a stick after that.

Liliana, channeling Gandalf: "You SHALL NOT PASS!"







Katie helping Lilie understand the 'you can have as many as you can carry' rule.

Liliana spent some quality time on the jampoline.



Thanks for the ride, Papa!
It ended all too soon, but we did receive confirmation that Nana and Papa made it home safely.  Thanks for sharing your time with us!
