KC and I's second visitors were her parents. We picked them up from the airport then it was off to the house. The children and didis anticipated this moment for over a month so there was no delay.
They were greeted at the house by an onslaught of hugs and kisses from the children. The message was clear, "KC's family is our family." After a short tour of the house, it was time for gifts. KC's parents brought the children T-shirts from Paris with different monuments. The boys immediately proclaimed that they had new football uniforms. The didis received new sweaters to their delight.
After Dan and my trek to the Himalayas, it was decided that the views were too good for KC's parents to pass up. We ventured out in the Nepalese Himalayas for several days. The trail was difficult and the weather did not completely cooperate but we all pressed on. The signs of spring surrounded us as the wildflowers bloomed, birds sang and baby animals hung close to parents in all the villages. It was a great trip.
Before we knew it, it was almost time for their departure. They could not leave without the boys giving their football uniforms a try. It was onto the pitch so the boys could show off their stuff. KC's father and I teamed up with the girls to give the boys a match. It was close but I think the uniforms gave the boys a little extra as they prevailed.
