Dan and Shar come to visit!

Uncle Dan and Aunt Shar were able to come and visit during spring break.  We had so much fun.  The kids absolutely LOVED playing, snuggling, wrestling with Uncle Dan.  They sure do miss their dad!  It was so nice to have them here, though. 
 After church on Sunday, we went to the ruins in Thetford.  The weather couldn't have been nicer for that day.  And I love taking pictures of the kids.  It's just fun.

 Cambridge is always fun.  We made a duck friend while having a snack and saw one of the best street performers I have ever seen! He was a magician and the kids (ok, the adults too) were enthralled.  He swallowed a balloon and sword, had cool card tricks, and was funny as well.  One kid came up to watch with a Gap sweatshirt on. He said, "Hey, you've got a hole in your jumper! Oh, no, sorry, it's just a gap."

 Punting is a favorite!  Dan even had a go at it.  I promised the kids a lollipop while on the punt.  Minnie started singing Row, Row, Row Your Boat while "paddling" with her lollipop.  Of course, Goofy and Bucko had to join in. It was pretty funny!  The whole experience was really nice and relaxing. We had the whole punt to ourselves, the weather was nice, and we got a "tour" of the colleges while floating down the river.  Love it.

 We finished at Cambridge after eating our yummy jacket potatoes. Of course there wasn't any place to sit down, so we tried just sitting down in the mall. Apparently this is not allowed as they came over and asked us to stand up. Pretty weird.  So we ate outside.  Since it was only afternoon, we headed over to Audley End.

 Friday we went to Oxburgh Hall.  The kids loved the priest's hole and walking in the woods, but honestly, they would have had fun doing anything as long as Uncle Dan and Aunt Shar were along.  They miss them a ton already.  Bucko cried when we dropped them off at the bus stop taking them to the airport.  All the kids remember them in their prayers every night too.  All who have come to visit are included. It goes from Daddy, to Auntie K, GG, and now Uncle Dan and Aunt Shar.  They are sweet kids.
