Memorial Day Weekend

 I found out my college roommate, Ashley, was going to be in Tulsa for the long weekend, so Saturday the kids and I drove over and met her and her family at the Tulsa Zoo.  It always does my heart good to see her!  And Ben and Joni.  They cooked out for us at their house Saturday evening.  It's really not a bad day trip, only about an hour and a half drive.  We left at about 8:30 and got back home at about 8:30. The kids loooved the zoo!  They ran around like wild animals!  Rhett is so into dinosaurs, and they were actually watching The Land Before Time in the car on the way over.  So, when we got there and they had a dinosaur exhibit going on, it made the trip even more special.

This peacock was huge and amazingly beautiful.

I mean HUGE!

Oh the dinosaurs!  They roared and moved too.  ME made sure to tell everyone they weren't real because dinosaurs are extinct.  "They were just robots."

Little boy excitement

The T-rex was the grand finale.  Rhett was a little spooked, because the "robot" dinosaur just before this one had unexpectedly sprayed us with water from its mouth.  He did not like that.

Red cheeks waiting on the train

ME making Cohen giggle.  It was my first time to see this cute little guy.

Caleb and Adam...Rhett and ME thought Adam was the first man when they first learned his name ;)

This cracks me up.  I guess it is his new "cheese" face.

Sunday before Preacher Larry and Mrs. Pat's shower...really, Rhett?

 

What a mess!

Monday we went out to Prairie Creek where Ranjo and Lindsay and the kids were camping.  We took a boat ride, played, and ate lunch.

After a quick nap, we all met back up at Mimi's house for a pool party.  Fun weekend!
