Frontier City

We met up with my friend, Leslie at Frontier City on Monday. We had a great time- even the kids hung in there for quite a while. Lyric and Aiden rode lots of rides- lucky for you I captured most of the action with my camera. We got pretty hot around 2 in the afternoon and had to bail out- we will go back next week- maybe take Nana....

See how excited Lane was to ride the train!

More from Destin

Here are a few more pics from our vacation to Destin...sorry I don't have it in me to write a lot about the fun we had....I am still trying to catch up here at home with cleaning and selling politically charged t-shirts....
Hope you enjoy the pictures, though!

Destin Update

We have been here in Florida for about a week...pretty busy so I will post more when we get home....here are just a few pictures from the last week of beach fun.

Finger Painting

I set out finger paints for Colin and Lyric last night- I don't know why I didn't think Lane would be interested- he was very interested. His favorite thing is to climb on the picnic table and stand up in the middle- having the table covered in paper and paint did not stop him. After the boys finished, he was right in the middle of it- on top of the table- covered in paints...washable of course.
He likes to yell- he gets a kick out of it- he usually yells "DA" at the top of his lungs, and then giggles after....totally cute.

The boys painting

Baby can't wait to climb on the table

He didn't try to eat the paint- just got it all over his face

Standing on the table

Shouting to the world....

So cute...good thing the paint all washed off!

Zoo Day

I took the boys to the OKC zoo on Monday. Jenn and Ian met us there along with Valerie and Joey. It was a nice morning/afternoon- we packed a picnic and ate lunch by the water. The boys had a nice time looking around and seeing the animals. We try to hit the zoo once a week- it is always fun for the kids, and gives us something to do during the morning. We got a family zoo pass for the boys' birthdays- so it is also a good "free" day. Other days we try to go swimming, play in the sprinklers out back, go to the mall and walk around, and play with arts and crafts at home. It is nice to have some structure even if we are on summer break.

Sunday

Allison came in for a visit on Sunday. Along with her came her boyfriend, Jared, and his 3 boys- Aston (3), Logan(5), and Ethan(7). We grilled burgers and played outside- it was a nice evening- and the weather was perfect. My grandparents were there along with Julie, my mom, and my brother- a nice family gathering.

Just Playin'

We try to play outside in the evenings- you know, just about dusk when the mosquitoes are at their peak. Anyway- we do play outside a lot- here are a few pics from last week-

Harley

Well- this afternoon we will be the proud owners of a Harley D. Fat Boy. Jason is going to get it in Carrolton, Texas today. He is so excited and can't wait to ride it up and down scenic 98 in Destin!

Turtles

Here are a couple more pics from the turtle hospital...
