We love visitors!

We were able to have three sets of visitors this past month...

Grandpa Walker and Granny Kate spent a long weekend with us in May

Then Grandma Bunting came out to watch the kids and help with projects.

(I used an old photo, because apparently we were too busy to take any with her here)

 Then Paul's great friend Matt, his wife Kathryn and their three girls came to visit us last week...

We toured Chicago

including the architecture tour (I love the picture of everyone looking up)

we hung out on Navy Pier

And also visited Millennium Park, Grant Park, The Museum of Science and Industry, The Field Museum, and Sears Tower.  We introduced them to deep dish pizza, Potbelly sandwiches, and Culver's butter burgers and custard.

We didn't think that was enough, so we headed out to Nauvoo and Carthage as well!

the kids got along so well

(poor Matthew was totally outnumbered)

The kids and the dads at Carthage.

It was also very awesome for Paul and Matt to hang out together.

Their lifelong friendship will extend to our kids and that was pretty amazing!
