O K L A H O M A

We finally made it to OK! The end of summer was starting to get close and we still had not made a trip out to the see the OK family and spend some time at the LAKE! Jen Jen says she had to beg to get us there! We had a free weekend and last minute decided that a trip to see the Dawkins and spend some time at the lake was a great way to end summer! So glad we did. We had a great time. If you chase a rainbow and find the pot of gold at the end...it would be found at the Dawkins. They are golden for sure. So thankful for their love and support through all these years. LOVE you guys!
We flew into Tulsa last Friday night, and headed for the lake Saturday morning. It's been 5 years since we have been to the lake. It was way overdue! The lake house was just remodeled, adding square footage and many upgrades! It's beautiful. We played on the seadoos, spent most of our time on the boat. The kids loved tubing and Presley even knee boarded! She tried skiing but got a little scared. It was a big weekend for Rylee and Breck. Rylee skied for the first time at age 5 and Breck knee boarded at age 3! It was fun to be apart of the "Firsts" celebrations. Rosie (Nana) and Jerry (Papa) were on the boat too! Jen and I even did a little tubing until we hit heads and I was left with a big knot on my head! We had so much fun. The kids played in the water and loved jumping on the big tramp out on the lake! We had great food and enjoyed being together. There is nothing like spending the weekend at the lake with family. My heart is full. Our kids are so close in age and have so much in common. I love it! 

Sunday night we packed up and headed back to Tulsa to spend some time with Jen and Jerry. We got to enjoy their new pool! We swam, talked and swam. The kids sure loved being together and played so well. We need to make this a yearly tradition. 
Here we are swimming in Tulsa! I can't believe this is the only picture I got! 

Tuesday we went to OKC and spent the day at the zoo with cousin Wendi, Dade and Beckham and Nana. We were spoiled! The zoo, dipping dots, matching bracelets, dinner at a yummy pizza place and then Papa took them to Braum for ICE CREAM! We had a great time in OK. It was sad to fly home and know that reality of school is going to hit fast! Oklahoma has a very special place in my heart! Nana and Papa treat my kids like their own. I'm forever thankful for their examples in our lives and their giving and loving spirit!  My kids love going to O K L A H O M A!
