Have you ever looked forward to something so much and then realized it was a not near as fun as you had imagined? That is totally NOT what happened with my parents and brother's most recent visit to Canada. I had been looking forward to it so much, but their time here was better than I could have ever imagined!

We played the whole trip by ear and just went with the flow and it worked out great. Of course Addie didn't have any trouble finding her normal role in the center of attention, and boy did she soak it up! They each loved on her SOOO much and she is a better little girl for having experienced such a wonderful time with Nonnie, Mac, and Joe Joe!

Joe hadn't had an opportunity to visit us in Canada before so we made all the local stops as a family and us boys escaped to the mountains for a day. Here are some pics from our time together:
