Grandma & Grandpa Visit

Bruce and Donna came out for the weekend to spend time with Camryn. They decided to help Camryn pursue her current dreams of being the next top chef.
Camryn patiently watched while the chocolate got 'hot' and melted.
She stirred with the wrists of a professional chef.
Then when it came time to do the dipping and the dunking she delegated the responsibility like any top chef would.
And then tasted the final product with much satisfaction.
Honestly, Camryn watched as Bruce, Donna and Scott dipped and dunked over 50 mini pretzel rods in valentines day colors. Scott insisted on making red and white swirled not striped pretzel rods and he did succeed.

Bruce and Donna watched Camryn and took her to Whitey's while Scott and I enjoyed our first dinner out alone in a long time. Okay our first dinner out alone since our fabulous New Year's Eve dinner at Bonsoiree in Chicago. (Seriously if you live in Chicago and want a fabulous dinner check it out, it is in the $$$ price range but dinner is usually a 2 1/2 hour to 3 hour affair). Unfortunately, Bass Street Chop House in Moline, IL didn't even come close. However, the ability to converse with Scott without a little munchkin running around was well worth it.

Bruce and Donna helped us prepare for our Super Bowl party before they left. Bruce helped me to convince Scott that yes we really did need to put the couch in the basement.
