This last Sunday PaPa and NaNa came for a quick visit to see our home, meet Zulu and spend some quality time with Brad and I. Since October of 2010, we have seen PaPa and NaNa a couple times, but we have never had one-on-one time with them, so this was extremely special.

P & N are winter birds here in Texas and stay about 3.5 hours north of Corpus Christi for the winter months. This year they will be here until February/March and Brad and I plan on seeing them as much as we can. We are already looking forward to the few days we will see them for Thanksgiving. We are planning on heading up there and spending the day at a charity event that P & N have gone to for the past several years! Uncle Rick, Aunt Christy, and cousins, Courtney, Paul, Jarrod and Lauren will also be there. I am looking forward to Brad meeting MORE family (poor guy!) and he is excited to see Uncle Rick - he just adores him. (:

Then, a couple weeks after Thanksgiving Brad and I will head back up to see P & N for a BBQ that will be held at the VFW. P brought some pigs with him from Idaho and the VFW is going to be smoking them up. This is the same thing we did at Uncle Rick's in Amarillo in March, which we had a great time doing.

We really enjoyed our time with them. P & Brad talked about flying ALL day long. It was great to watch them interact all day. I just love that they love Brad!
 
During their visit we had a chance to visit the flight line and the Navy even let us crawl inside of a plane and hang out for a while. So neat - we would of never been able to do that in Enid! The guys chatted about flying and NaNa and I watched some of the active planes taxi and takeoff.

 Talking about flying!

We can't wait to see them at Thanksgiving and to share the holiday with them and other family. It will be great to have them so close for a few months! We love you P & N!
