George and Laura visit

I know this is out of order, but I still haven't taken any pictures off of my camera, but I did steal some from Laura's blog so I thought I'd post them here. The weekend before Thanksgiving we had the pleasure of entertaining George and Laura in our home. This was George's first trip to Sunnyside and we were very excited to have them. After all the sacrifice and support that George and Laura have done to help our family get through dental school, it was a real joy to have them see Kent, his success and where he is working hard with the education he received while we were in Florida. We had lots of fun showing them our little town and introducing George (Laura is a veteran here now) to the people that we have grown to love in Sunnyside. Some of the activities that kept us busy were dropping off and picking up the kids from school, going to dance practice, going to basketball practice, going to a basketball game, eating lunch at Ethan's school and playing football in the house. Ethan was so proud to have his grandparents come to school lunch that he even talked them into staying for recess. George had the boys running a game of football and he taught the girls how to do the Gator chomp and a little Cheer saying "It's great to be a Florida Gator!" One of the girl's in Ethan's class came up to George and grabbed hold of his hand and said, "My grandpa died in a car accident a little while ago and I miss him so much." It broke our hearts. I told her that Ethan will let her borrow his grandpa every time he comes to Sunnyside. She was so happy to hear that. The kids had a great time playing with "grandpa and grandma." We are thankful that they came up to see us in our own little corner of the country and hope that they will come back to visit again very soon!
