Papa's and Nana's Visit

My parents (papa and nana) came to Missouri to go camping and came to visit us a few times the week before the boys started school.  My boys were ecstatic to see them.  The boys had fun going on a ride on their kayaks up the Meramec River.

 You can barely see Ethan, but he is there.

 

We also took Papa and Nana to a place that Ethan and Tucker absolutely LOVE, The Magic House.  It is a "children's museum".  My favorite part in it is the miniature village where the kids can make believe.  

 Don't they look thrilled to be there? :)  In their defense it is a chaotic place over run with children. 

 

 The stuff Ethan is digging in is shredded tire pieces. 

We also celebrated the end of Tucker's baseball season with a team ice cream party.  Nana and papa didn't come to that, but it was the same week so I'm including it in this post.  Tucker was completely thrilled that his trophy had his name printed on the plate!!!
