Our really wonderful parents enabled our Europe trip by taking on the biggest task of all: childcare. We have three very exuberant children, so taking them for days at a time is not for the faint of heart. They are delightful and buckets of fun, but they are a lot of work. This is not even the first time our parents have taken them for such a long stretch, either. They are truly the best.
First up: 5 days in Tennessee with Gran and Grandpa!
Favorite meals
Treats
Pool time!
Gran and Grandpa set up the tent and had a backyard camp out for our never-been-camping girls!
You just cannot beat s'mores.
Special breakfasts
Slip-n-sliding
ALL THE TOY STORY FUN
They were feeling it.
Splash park
Matching dresses
At the end of those five days, Gran and Grandpa drove the girls back home to Durham and picked up my parents from the airport, handing over the metaphorical keys. My parents stayed with the girls at our house until I got home and for the remainder of the week (so that I could get over jet lag and get busy packing for our move to DC).
Costco hot dogs
Living the good life
Playing at the outlets
At our beloved museum
The girls had a blast! And our parents were such sports. We're so grateful. Hopefully, they've all recovered and still love us a few months removed from it. :)
