Oma and Opa: At home

The girls had a great time playing with their tea set outside. Mom and dad even gave J and I a date night while they watched the girls. We were very spoiled this whole week. We all miss them so much already. Can't wait until their next visit!

Oma and Opa: The Woodshed

Mom and dad treated us to dinner at the Woodshed, one of our favorites. Again, it was a great day and the girls love walking around and being outside.

Oma and Opa: Botancial gardens

It was a beautiful day to go to the botanical gardens and the girls had fun running around, exploring, watching the turtles in the pond, blowing bubbles, and playing with their toys.

Oma and Opa time

Jason's parents flew in from Michigan to spend a week with us. The girls had a blast with their Oma and Opa and enjoyed a trip to the zoo,  bubbles in the botanical gardens, water tea parties outside, eating at the Woodshed and lots of games at home. We had a wonderful week and at the end of it Claire for the first time felt the heart break of having loved ones leave. She cried for an entire day and begged us to let her fly to Michigan so she could see her Oma and Opa again. So here are some pictures of our time together, first up the zoo.
