Grandpa and Grandma Hansen came to visit... and it was great!! This is the first time since Steve and I have been married that my dad has made it out to visit us and the second for my mom (she came to Charleston when we had Morgan).
In case you were wondering why my parents have never made it out to visit... I will explain. My mom always takes a week off to visit her children when they have children to help out... and since Steve and I have not had any children in 3 years and my other (3) sisters will not stop having children... we are not on that priority list:).
My parents came out for a week to see our family, our home and to see a little bit of the South East (we joke that my dad really came out to take a tour of the submarine- hes into that kind of thing). It was a great week- fast but great. The second day they were here I took them to Fort Clinch to walk around the beach and take pictures. I took some awesome pictures, put my camera in my lap to chat for a bit on the rocks and next thing I know.... my camera is falling down the pile of rocks like a pinball in a pinball machine. Needless to say- about 200 pictures and my camera are at the bottom of hundreds of huge rocks. Not a great moment for me. So later that day I went out to buy a new camera and take more pictures of nana and papa being here.
We went to the beach a few times, to the submarine museum in St. Marys, GA, took a ride on base, walked around downtown, went shopping, planted trees in the back yard, celebrated papas 61st birthday and of course just hung out around the house. My dad was also able to take a tour of Steves submarine on Saturday and enjoyed every minute of that! We had a blast and didnt want to see them go. I hope it will not be another 6 years before we can get nana and papa to visit us again!!

That is so fun that your parents came out to visit. I am so glad that you had such a good time. Sorry about the camera. That stinks, but atleast you got a new one:)
I wish I had great one on one moments with mom and dad like you did. and them playing w/ the kids...im so jealous! too bad there was 50 million people for mom and dad to visit while they were here. oh well... i'll get pregnant so i can have the one on one time again :)
How awesome for you parents to come.
My dad still has never come to visit....he says its easier for him to pay for me to come to him...
Im sure your kids LOVED it.
