They're GRRRrrrrreat!

One drawback of living 2 hours away from family and friends is that we don't get to see as much of people as we would like.  A bonus though, is visitors!  We live in Central Illinois, and like to joke that nobody comes here on purpose ... but lots of people pass through on their way to or from someplace else.  We encourage everyone to stop by on their way, and were thrilled when my Aunt and Uncle made arrangements to do so.

It was a quick visit, but I love watching my aunt and uncle, my kids' GREAT aunt and uncle, spend time playing with and getting to know my children.

(it's hard to tell who's having more fun playing trains!)
