HP Camp

While we enjoyed an extra child-free week in Italy. Brooks and Barrett had a blast at Honey and Papa's house. Honey and Papa had to handle 2 toddlers on the airplane for 18+ hours, jet lag back in Texas and a week full of wild boys! We could NOT be more grateful and blessed by Honey and Papa. They are incredible grandparents and parents! We refer to parent-less time at Honey and Papa's as HP Camp.
Thanks to Honey we got some great pictures. Too bad she's not in one single photo!! But you know she's there because of all the fun stuff they did! And lets just say, Papa wasn't along for the ride. He jumped in the middle of these boys and enjoyed every minute. It is pure joy to see my dad love on my boys so much. What a treat for Nick and I to spend time by ourselves and what a treat for the boys to be around my most favorite people in the whole wide world!

You did some serious planning and it looks like it paid off. And HP camp I mean the creativity is just too much, SO SO fun. We love a good octo dog around here...but we will be adding spider breakfast to the mix ASAP...as well as painting the fence and a few other honey specials.
