A visit from Grandma and Grandpa

This past week my parents came to visit. It has been a lot of fun having them here and the boys love playing with Grandma. Grandpa enjoys relaxing and reading a good book but he has been seen playing frisbee with the boys and pushing them on their swing.

We went down to Rothenburg last week. Rothenburg is a pretty in tact Medieval town and has an old town wall you can walk along. We had fun exploring the town and seeing the old buildings. The boys favorite part of the trip was a visit to the "Criminal Museum." They had lots of torture devices and different objects on display explaining different punishments for "crimes." For instance, if you were a gossip you were made to wear a metal mask and stand in the town square for everyone to see. If you were caught sleeping in or skipping church you were made to wear a massive rosary around your neck that weighed about 80 lbs. I told the boys that if they don't start behaving I would build my own cage and hang it from the tree in the front yard...they weren't scared.
