About 2 months ago (I'm behind, I realize) my parents and sister McKenna came to visit for a few days. Frontier Airlines was doing a killer promotion from SLC to Harrisburg, and we were so happy they were able to come visit us! Graham had a fun time playing with Nana and Papa and Kenna. My dad was great with him, as always, and would take him outside for hours on end to play. That combined with multiple chicken nugget runs, and Graham was in heaven!
Here are some things we did while they were here:
Visited Chocolate World (Of course) It had been 20 years since they were here last and they said it was pretty much the exact same as it was 20 years ago!

| Everyone except Papa. |


We also visited the apple orchard again and let Graham do what he loves the most- wander and explore!

The next day we packed up and went to Intercourse, PA. Um yeah, that's really the name of the most Amish inhabited place within 50 miles of us. All over the roads were horses and buggies, and people working with plows and push mowers in their fields. It is crazy to think of how different their lives must be from ours, just 20 miles away!
On the way we stopped at Julius Sturgis pretzel factory and had a tour. You know who was really not that interested in the pretzel making.


This is pretty much what we did during the tour...
Then on to Kitchen Kettle Village, where we got to see some farm animals,

Not so sure about the goats...


This series of pictures makes me laugh... The sign above the chickens says that even though it feels weird to have them eat out of your hand, they can't hurt you. My dad tried to get Graham to feed them, and once they pecked his hand, he was NOT happy!

Also at Kitchen Kettle VillageThe day before they went home we all drove to Gettysburg

We were able to do the car tour, but I don't know that 2 hours of driving 15 miles per hour is exactly what Graham had in mind for his Saturday afternoon. I had been years since I had been there, and heck, we live 45 minutes away, so we had to go anyway! It was cool to see some of the historic parts of our new home. We're so happy to live here!
Thanks for coming, guys! It was a blast!
(Graham wandered around looking for "Papa" for days afterwards. Every fake phone call he makes now is to either Nana or Papa. The downside of living 2000 miles away from family)
