Back to Blogging Part 2-Nana and Papa's Visit

Nana and Papa visited us for a few weeks in April and May. We had a wonderful time with them. It was still a little nippy here in Michigan, but we had a great time in spite of the weather.
We hoped to take Nana and Papa to Lake Michigan but it seemed like the weather was never very good when we had the time to go. Instead of spending a cool day at the beach, on this day we decided to have a hot dog roast around the campfire in our back yard.

Kourtney was on her way back to the fire from the picnic table when she didn't see one of the big logs we use to sit on. She tripped on it and ended up with her hands on the ground and her feet in the air. Luckily she didn't get up too fast and I was able to get a picture of her that looks like it's been photo shopped although it really hasn't.

Kourtney had a field trip to the Butterfly House on MSU campus. Nana, Papa, Ellary, Keegan and I accompanied her. Nana got to ride the bus! Kourtney was so excited.

Each student in Kourtney's class got to pot a plant and take it home too.

Ellary turned 3 years old while Nana and Papa were visiting us. We took her to McDonald's for breakfast which has become a tradition because the day she was born Kourtney and I went out for a date at McDonald's (pregnancy craving), and we share a big stack of pancakes. Just before we were about to leave Micky D's I started having contractions. 4 hours later Ellary was born! We had a fun time including Nana and Papa in our tradition. Ellary is obsessed with Micki and Minnie Mouse, that's why I made her a Minnnie cake this year. She was very excited!

Ellary loves to dance so we gave here this leotard and a dancing video called "The Music Box". Everyone liked dancing to it.

Nana and Papa got Ellary this Princess table. Ellary and Keegan love to play with their pretend food on it in her room.

The first weekend Nana and Papa were here was Easter and General Conference weekend. So much fun!

Kris and I had the opportunity to see some friends sealed in the Dtroit Temple. Nana, Papa and the kids all played at the Stake building next to the temple.

We also took a walk in Lansing along the Grand River, then went to Impression 5, a children's museum. That was a lot of fun too!

The day before they left we almost ventured to Lake Michigan but the weather wasn't cooperating. So, we went to the MSU Dairy instead. It was neat to see the calves and cows and how they are milded. It was also stinky and mucky, but fun all the same.

This cow insisted on trying to lick my coat. When it licked Ellary she got upset. She's our little girlie girl!

We also took Nana and Papa to the Brody Cafeteria at MSU. It's an amazing smorgasbord of authentic cuisines. We then took a little walk on campus.

We had so much fun with Nana and Papa. They will be coming to visit us again in less than a month for Thanksgiving and we are so excited!
