Mom and Dad in May

The month of May was marked by a very special visit from my folks. Mom and Dad packed up the camper and headed east during the first week of May, showed up at our doorstep a couple of days later and then stuck around for the rest of the month (with a brief trip up to Wisconsin in the middle). We loved it. Illinois or bust, here we come!

Dad had to stop a few times to try to frighten a fish or two, of course. Not sure what he scared in the mighty Mississippi!

It was fun to have them there during Mother's day. Everyone helped with Sunday Dinner. Even the Mothers! (Yes, that's Kenrick at the sink. He's officially Taller Than His Mom)

I grilled. Kind of predictable for Mother's Day, right? But hey, do what you know.

Mom attempted to tackle our dandelion "problem". I think the dandelions won.

And Dad tackled the little tree house project that I've had stewing in the back of my head for a few years. Turned out not so little. And it's not yet done (my fault, not his - some of the details were not ready to leave my brain), but he definitely helped get things off the ground. Literally. Thanks a bunch Dad!
