Grandma & Grandpa

Over a month has passed since Grandma and Grandpa English came to visit back in June and it does not seem like it has been that long. Having them visit was lovely. We spent plenty of time chatting, playing games, exploring and introducing them to our life in Bremen. There were some very memorable late nights laughing over squabbles in Scategories and even some adventures on the high seas. Needless to say there were certainly memories made. I've blogged about many of the big things already; Atticus' birthday, Fathers Day, Klimahaus, exploring submarines, Milayla's birthday and quilt (I think i'm still missing some...) but really wanted to get some of the little moment pictures up on the blog too. I'm still trying to get through all of my pictures so I may end up adding some more, but here are a few to get things started.

Visiting the Bremen Town Musicians - holding the two front hooves of the donkey is considered good luck! (our very first visit with the Bremen Town Musician is back here)

Outside the main church in Bremen

Off to market! 

They got quite the kick out of the Bakfiets

And were a bit too tiny for their bicycle rentals...

Atticus ate a lot of peas with Grandpa!

And there was plenty of bubble blowing

Milayla got to visit pirates with them - lucky girl ;)

And they were so blown away with the price of coffee makers that they had to take a picture -  that is a 2300,00 Euro price tag 

And, of course, we went swimming so the kids could show off all the swimming skills that they've been learning! They both even went down the BIG waterslide. We were pretty certain that the waterslide had traumatized Atticus, but that night over dinner we asked him what his favorite part of the day was and his answer was an excited "Waterslide!". I guess those were tears of joy and not fear :)

They certainly blessed our home with some extra laughter and love. We are so grateful that they came out to visit us. 

Thank you for all the quality time, the laughter, the love, the thoughtful gifts, the babysitting and a sense of adventure to explore a city in a different language.

Love and miss you guys!
