So, the saying goes, "Alone at last", but that is definitely NOT how we're feeling these days. We drove to Altus to see
Katie & Phil & the girls and then Katie, Claire & Maddie came home with us for a few days. While we were in OK, we also got to see Megan, Steven, Joshua & Caroline (Josh's little sister whom we hadn't met yet). They were stationed with us in WA & just moved to Altus a month ago. All in all, it was a very nice trip & great to see them all. Here are a few highlights from the trip:
William & Claire dancing madly to some "princess tunes" from Maddie's book. They were great about taking turns pushing the buttons & even managed to keep track of whose turn it was!
Kiddos looking at the snapping turtles in the reservoir down the street from Claire & Maddie's house. We walked there almost every afternoon to feed the turtles our stale bread:
Kiddos at one of the parks in Altus where we let them run off some excess energy one BEAUTIFUL morning:
We got to see Claire take her horseback riding lessons &, of course, William & Daniel HAD to ride Yankee. Claire & her instructor were nice enough to share. And, Maddie was brave enough to take a trip, too!
And, a pic of Josh & Claire in the HUGE tree in front of Megan & Steven's house. Josh is quite the agile little monkey & managed to talk Claire into climbing up there with him (I don't think he had to try to hard!). William, being his little cautious self, went nowhere near it!
And, lastly, a pic of the kids watching videos back at our house not long before Katie & the girls headed out.
We were far too busy on this end to take many pics. The second night everyone was here, Maddie got sick in Wal-Mart & then Katie & I apparently had a touch of it because we spent all day Friday hardly able to get off the couch. None of the other kiddos got the pukes, thank goodness! By Saturday, everyone was better & we were able to do some shopping. Sunday was a quiet day & then they took off for home on Monday. Here's to hoping we can do it again ;-)
