Germany and Visitors

Matt left for Germany in the middle of September for work.  He was gone for a week.  When he was gone, my parents came out to stay with us and help.  Matt was home for a weekend and then had to leave again to go to the plant in Helena, Arkansas for the week.  When he was gone the second week, Matt's dad came to stay with us and help out.  

This time when Matt went to Germany, it was Octoberfest.  He said it was basically just like the Illinois State Fair.  What made it different was the beer tents….they held 10,000 people each and there were 5 of them.  You have a meal in there and drink beer by the liter…people stay in there 5-6 hours.  That part was crazy!  Here are his Germany pics...

 The boys always request pretzels from Germany when Matt goes.  They are huge, bigger than his head!

 They look even bigger compared to the boys!

 We didn't do a good job taking pictures while our visitors were here, but here and the boys and I with my parents one night after we went to dinner at Strip.

And here are Grandma and Papa with the boys before they left.

When Rod was here, he helped the boys make firetrucks at Home Depot one morning after Landon's soccer game.  The boys loved it!

A big thanks to my parents and Rod for coming out, staying with us, helping me, and doing stuff around the house for us.  I couldn't have made it those two weeks without you guys so I really appreciate it.  Thanks for always being there for us! :)
