Hey there! I finally got around to highlighting our time spent with my parents when they were here. It was five full days of fun so lots to blog about at once. That’s why I decided to keep things easy with photos and captions from each day.

Thanks for reading and enjoy a wonderful day!

My parents left early Wednesday morning right after we left for school. We always feel sad and empty when they leave knowing it will be weeks before we see them again. However, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and I can’t wait to go home to Ohio for the holidays!
