Papa & Grandma came to town

We had a little visit from some of our favorite South Dakotans! Papa and Grandma came down for a visit! We had some busy, fun filled days! And sadly, the weather was wet and cold almost the entire time they were here...we have got to convince Papa to come in a month other than November! We picked them up one afternoon after Zachary finished up at school and we explored a bit in Caesars Palace. Really we were there for two reasons, Vosges Chocolate and lunch. A few years ago we got Papa and Grandma some chocolate covered bacon bars for Christmas. Who knew how much they would like it and that there would happen to be a store here?! It's now on their must stop list whenever they come to town.

 

They joined us for Zachary's Thanksgiving program at school, soccer practice,and playing at some parks. We even ventured up the mountain for lunch one afternoon and found some snow! They joined us for an evening of bowling with the Boggess family and treats from Dunkin' Donuts. And Papa got to try out Daddy's two new toys...the motorcycle and the snooker table! 

 

Then, just a few hours after we dropped them off at the airport, Broden hit a milestone! He is now a stair climber! Little stinker! I thought I still had at least another month! Nope, and the worst par-t he is a quiet little guy! I didn't even know what he was doing until he was nearly half way up. Thankfully, he was happy to be at my eye level and I kept him there long enough for Zachary to come over and help. Then, he continued all the way to the top!
