First week of June...

Grandma & Grandpa came for Brandon's 12th birthday, Nick's 1st triathlon (Brandon & Kurt "tri"-ed too), 6 Flags, bowling, dinner date at Smokey Bones and fire lunch at Nikkos, movies - loved Up and the boys enjoyed Star Trek too, our new golf-cart driver, swim team practices, nerf wars, games, and lots more! They spoiled us yet again and we're sad they had to go home.
Thanks for coming - We love you Grandma & Grandpa~
