Dave and I celebrated our 10th anniversary on Groundhog's Day. We had a trip coming up, so we took the kids out to eat. Dave had been wanting me to try out this burger place in Charlotte for a while, and it was great to try it out with the kids too. Lincoln took this picture of us.
I took this picture of Lincoln and Drake. It cracks me up that they copied our couple photo.
Dorothy enjoyed every morsel of her meal. She wasn't finished when we had to leave, so we got a box to go. As we were getting ready to go, she kept staring at the box and pointing to it. She was so worried that we were going to leave it!
Mama and Papa Shinsel surprised the kids with a visit. They had a trade show in New Orleans, so they drove out some equipment and then drove to our house.lincoln didn't know what to do when he answered the door and saw them. He just stood there! Meanwhile, Drake can see them from the stairs and is jumping up and down like crazy. After a few moments, Lincoln finally responded and give them some hugs!
Poor Dave felt good for the first hour they were at the house. All of a sudden he came down with a high fever. We should have taken him to the doctor earlier, because when we finally did, he had a severe case of strep.
While Dave was sleeping, we hit up McDonalds. I love this picture of Papa and Dorothy!
This was a sweet moment...
...and then Drake happened.
Yep, he licked Grandma!
We also went to the park one afternoon.
Grandma is so good to play tag with the boys!
It was pretty chilly outside, so we did a lot of playing inside. Grandma made Dorothy this adorable play house for her birthday.
I can't believe Lincoln didn't notice Dorothy was using him as a pillow.
Mom and Dad stopped by for a quick visit before our visitors left.
After they left, Dave started feeling better. Boo!!
I'm so glad no one else got his cooties, because Dave and I had been planning an anniversary trip for a while. Mom and Dad were such troopers to stay with the kids for 3 days! Dave and I went to one of our favorite cities, Savannah.
We have been before, and did all the touristy things. This time we got to go out to eat, walk around, shop and just enjoy time together.
We bought some candy and sat on a bench by the water. The people watching was fantastic!
This was the view from our room, St. John's Cathedral.
Dave and I both thought the house would be trashed and that my parents would be ready to go as soon as we rolled in. We were pleasantly surprised! Everyone did well. Maybe we won't wait another 10 years to take a trip!!
