Summer Summary

This is one big, lazy summer recap (since we recently celebrated the first day of fall).

This is not for your benefit, mind you, for mine. I love getting my blog printed, it serves as my scrapbook.

Fun at the zoo (one of Noah's first to-do's before getting his tonsils out).

Celebrating daddy on Father's Day.

 

Tulsa Air and Space Museum.

Swim lessons for Noah and Elli.

Discovery Lab, Tulsa's Children's Museum.
"Look, mama, I'm diving down the slide like a peregrine falcon!"

Watermelon and swimming on the Fourth of July!

Freddy's custard for dessert (see the evidence?).

Elli finally got brave enough to do sparklers (while covering her eyes)!

Of course, a trip to the aquarium!

 

Swimming at "pappaw's golf course."

Grocery store outings with these crazies.

A visit from cousins...

We went to Frisco, TX to see the kids' other cousins.  Nana and pawpaw were there too and we got to go to Abby's swim meet and swim in Jacob and Abby's pool!

I was Ellianna's teacher for VBS.  Noah hung out with us early one morning before VBS started.  He loved the sand table.

They learned all about Noah's ark and even made an Ark for the preschoolers!  It was so neat!  Here they are about to go for a ride.

Snacks and giggles with a sweet friend.

Petting the dove (pigeon).

We ate dinner at the Cross Timbers Lakeside Grill at Skiatook Lake.

Memaw and I took the kids to The Pecan Porch for breakfast one morning and then to tour the Tulsa Port of Catoosa.

It was interesting to see how many goods are shipped from our land locked state.

Noah and Elli by the Charley Border towboat that is permanently docked next to the education center.

We squeezed in another trip to the zoo a few days before school started.

Of course, we went to the Kiddie Park.  Noah finally braved the coaster.  He was too tall for several rides and Elli had to go by herself.  :(

Rockets!

Dizzy with daddy.

We got to feed the ducks "at the park by memaw and pappaw's house."

We took the kids to the donut shop and then to the Sky Zone trampoline park.  I bought a 30 minute ticket for myself.  It was tiring!

The kids lasted an hour and then wanted more!

The boys went fishing every chance they got!

Ah, Summer, how I love you so.
