House guests!


We had some very special house guests last weekend and it warrants a post.  My Uncle Dick and Aunt Liz arrived Friday and spent the weekend with us.  We spent the majority of our time together eating and playing board games.  It was super special.  Much to Old Uncle Dick's dismay, he could not win a single game but the challenge was worth the disappointment and we hope he'll return for a rematch soon!  


A Battleship challenge with Cooper

One special moment was when he shared his Passport to the National Parks with Cole.  We gave Cole the Passport system last year for his birthday after Uncle Dick told us about it.  He has over 40 passport stamps in his book and Cole was very excited to hear about his travels.  In a previous post, Uncle Dick had sent Cole an enormous collection of brochures about Civil War battle fields.  They both enjoy history and I'm glad they had this opportunity to share these interests face to face.
