The Grandparent's Visit

The grand folks came up to Wisconsin to visit for 10 days. It was the first time they'd seen our new home.
With all the craziness of changing jobs and moving to a new state, we hadn't seen each other in 6 months! That's not the norm for us.

Needless to say the kiddos were beyond excited to see Nonna and Papa. Here they are headed off to the airport to pick them up...

from our own yard!

We celebrated Nonna's birthday when they arrived (we missed it by 6 days)...


We celebrated Father's Day at one of the many local beaches...


We had a few picnics...

concert in the park

We toured a cheese factory (Yum-O!)

no hair in the cheese, please!
We checked out a hundred year old church and monastery, and climbed up to the top of the tower...

it was a long climb!
We even found a town named after Nonna!

even though they spell it with an 'H'
And on our last day together we went to the Milwaukee Zoo...


Not to mention the soccer practice, ice skating lessons, bowling, dinners, marshmallow roasting, gardening, walking...
We did a lot in 10 days. It was a fantastic visit and went by way too fast.

Now the count down begins for our trip back East to see them at their house. Six weeks until we go 'home'!
