The busiest weekend ever!!

Sorry, it's taken me so long to blog. We've had an incredibly busy past couple weeks. My parents arrived on June 20th for the weekend. They came down for Travis' graduation and Henry's birthday. The boys were SO excited for Gramma and Grampa they could hardly settle down. Of course we kept them busy. Travis and my dad started putting a pergola over our deck. We have a lot of trees in the backyard, but have so much afternoon sun on the deck that it's hard to be out there. We have some adjustments to make, but it went really well. My dad was very brave. He took the big boys to lunch at McDonalds one day, and made a trip to the grocery store for treats on another....yes, he was alone. Of course, the boys LOVED it and told how grampa let them buy whatever they wanted : )

On Saturday, we attend the benefit for Baby James. It was a huge success raising $25,605 dollars and some odd cents. We couldn't believe it!! There were some Korean delegates visiting Rochester from our sister city in South Korea, Siheung City. They attended as well with their host who we know from Camp Moon-hwa.

On Sunday, we packed the boys up and headed to Minneapolis for Travis' graduation. The school reserved a coach bus for us to take. What a great way to travel. When we arrived and boared the bus at 8:00 a.m., they served brunch complete with juice, coffee, champange, and wine. We made mimosa's!! The boys loved the trip!! We took the last 3 rows on the busy...right next to the bathroom. What a delight!! The boys, of course....including Trav, had to try out the bathroom multiple times on the way there and on the way back. Henry eating breakfast on the bus. He claimed a seat with grampa. Charles insisted he sit with gramma. What a relief that they didn't need to fight over anyone.
Dad after the graduation was over. We were at the reception waiting for him and took this picture out the window. It must have been quite a sight for him. There were floor to ceiling windows and all 3 boys were standing right up to it waving at him.
Charles at the reception.
I don't even know what to say about this picture. I think it speaks for itself.
Min on the way home. I just LOVE that gummy smile!!

I'll include pictures of Henry's birthday in the next couple days. We've now been immersed in Camp Moon-hwa for the past 4 days. It is the busiest, most exciting, and the most incredibly exhausting week of the summer. The boys have been sound asleep by 7:30 every single night. We wouldn't miss it for anything!! The boys absolutely love it!! Henry was already sad on Wednesday because on Friday it would be over. Every year they say...'We want to go every day!!' And, it is really great. Tomorrow is the last day, and the program is in the afternoon. I'll fill you in and post pictures this weekend!!
