Pa & Darlin' come to Missouri

I've been so excited for my parents to come visit us here & true to form it flew by way too fast. Unfortunately most of the time they were here someone was sporting a fever or some ailment so we didn't do a whole lot but it was splendid having them!

We took them to the Branson Landing-I love it down there!





Dueling babies

Of course we had to do Bass Pro Shop...


and Andy's custard twice because what trip to Springfield would be complete without those two places?

And the Farm Park too


The weather was nice enough to enjoy the outdoors luckily! Here's a favorite of Pa with the boys. There was instant bonding going on around here between Pa, Darlin' & all the Shakespear kids



My parents just got back from a fun trip to Florida where they visited Hogwarts (!!!) While in Honeydukes they purchased a package of Bertie Botts Every Flavored Beans. We had quite the evening tasting the wide assortment of flavors.

Among the favorites: Cherry, blueberry & Fruity Tuity or something like that
Among the UNfavorites: Grass, sausage (still twitching from that one), VOMIT (so sorry Mums!), dirt, rotten eggs, earthworm & soap-double yuck!

Hyrum was quite concerned & very confused as to why we were purposely putting disgusting things in our mouths. Someday when he's a Harry Potter fan, he'll understand :)




Thanks again for coming Pa & Darlin'!

Miss you guys so much! Loved the video. I'm so glad we have a video of Justin and his head shake (as well as Em), I'd love to see a video of Emma holding her hands out with her little questioning squeal.

Your kiddos are so super cute and it's fun to see pictures of your parents--brings back memories of Lacey 2nd!

I had to chuckle about your kids wondering why the adults were eating gross things. SO FUNNY! I am glad your parents were able to come and visit! YAY!
