Nana and Bobo Visit Tivoli

We managed to visit Tivoli on the last day of the season for a chilly, but fun evening. We missed several buses trying to get there because they were too full, but it turned out God had a better plan. Because we waited so long we ended up running into some ladies from church who let us get in for free on their annual pass! Bonus!
This is a view of they city hall clock tower from inside Tivoli. We didn't have time to take them up the tower... looks like that's another place we'll only visit once. Look back here for some pictures we took on a tour almost two years ago when our friend, Rachel, came to visit.

You're looking at the best family photo we have so far. I know, sad. To be fair, Ruby was very concerned about the roller coaster roaring over our heads, so that's the main reason she couldn't be bothered to look at the camera. Hopefully we'll be getting some good pics when we head back to the states. Bobo is quite a shutterbug and I'm sure he'd take our family picture if we can get the kiddos to comply!

This was the first time that Ruby was really excited to ride on the carousel and actually picked out her steed all on her own. The only drawback (in her eyes) is that she really would have liked to play musical chairs for the whole ride to try out all the animals!

Ruby also got her first ride on the Ferris Wheel, this time with Nana by her side. She was just looking all around taking it all in. I guess she isn't afraid of heights!


Yet another picture of SuperDad! Not quite as impressive as this trip, but pretty close!


As you have seen, we had a wonderful, action-packed visit with Bob and Kay. It was such a blessing to have them here and we all were so sad to see them leave. Ruby and Max are anxious to see their Nana and Bobo again and I think the feeling is mutual. Next visit, back on US soil! Only about 25 days to go!!!
