A Long Awaited Visit

So we have been on the island a little over a month, and my parents came to visit last Saturday!  It was so great!  The kids had been counting down the days since we had arrived.  Bryn kept telling Kyler they were coming in one month, even after we had been here for two weeks.  When it got down to one week, the first thing Bryn would say when she woke up was _ days left, Right mom?  
We went to the airport to pick them up and the kids could hardly stand the wait, but finally Grandma and Grandpa came out the doors.  
So we picked them up and made the hour ride back to our house.  They had brought a lot of things with them that I had asked them to bring that I couldn't get here, and it was like Christmas here, I got two flyswatters, a candle, and some Febreeze among other things!  It was wonderful.
They got to go to church with us, we took them to a couple of the beaches here, we went snorkeling, and swimming at the pool, and just got to hang out with them.  It was so nice for us.
Bryn was so sad when they left.  When we got home that day I couldn't find Bryn, and when I did find her she was in her room crying because she missed Grandma and Grandpa.  So we both had a good cry and then decided that we needed to be tough and that Christmas was not that far off!  Thanks Mom and Dad was coming and spending a few days with us.  It is an adventure to come here and to be here, but we are really glad you braved it.  We all love you so much!
Here are some pictures of the trip:

Can you find the Iguana?

Without a doubt, you are the only person I know that would get excited about Febreeze.
