Mom and Dad's visit

Mom and Dad were able to come visit us the beginning of June. They had planned to go to Colorado Springs this summer already so I told them they should just turn it into a 2 stop trip since Denver is in the middle of us. They couldn't come for Griffin's blessing, so this worked out anyway. 

They got into Colorado Springs on a Wednesday and were supposed to fly out Saturday morning into Denver then to OKC. Well, mom's ticket wasn't scanning in co springs so by the time they got it fixed they missed their flight. Again, by the time anyone could help and figure things out, they had missed that flight out of Denver to OKC. This is where things just got messed up. The day before, there were some F4 tornadoes that hit west and part of downtown OKC. All those flights got cancelled and every flight (and airline, even into Wichita and Tulsa) they tried to get on, didn't have going into OKC until Monday. Sooo, they were either stuck in Colorado Springs until one of those Monday flights, stay there until their original flight back home the next Wednesday, OR I said they should just get a rental car and drive here. It was a 9 hour drive, but would still get them here earlier than a flight. That's what they decided to do. I was so surprised that my mom agreed to it! Thankfully the airline was going to credit the flight into OKC. After a long and boring drive for them, they got in around 10:30 pm. 

Sunday we went to church, took a much needed nap, and then headed out for Clay to show them some turbines and his work. 

Monday, I took them around town and went to Walmart to grab some diapers and food for dinner. They also bought Kort a bubble lawn mower that he absolutely loves! I'm sure they enjoyed our Walmart - ha ha ha! 

Tuesday, I decided to do the Kids Bowl Free summer program and take Kort for his first time.

Surprisingly he loved it and did great! We had the bumpers up, a 7lb. ball and the ramp to help out.

It was nice to get out with my parents.

We went shopping a little bit afterwards. My dad was so excited to try out Clay's hammock, but he needed an umbrella so we found him one at Ross. He was in that thing everyday :) and it was perfect  weather for it! 

We also went to the park to fly a kite and mom took Kort to see the ducks.

Clay was able to take Wednesday off from work to help me take them back to the airport. We got them there, said our goodbyes and then headed to the mall. We got Clay some early Father's Day presents and headed home. 

It was kind of weird having my parents visit, but it was great. I only say that because it had been a year and a half that I last saw them and the last place they were able to come visit was in Tacoma for Kort's baby blessing! It was a fun time having them here and letting them play with and spoil Kort and Griffin!
