So Far Weekend

We are having a great Labor Day weekend. It started a little early since Ben's Dad and wife flew into town on Thursday night. We are so excited to have company- even the in-laws!! It's a blast to see family, have something to do and have some extra hands. The babes are really fun- so I think it is an exciting time to see them. Friday we visited Ben at work. I've never been to the VA and Dad McD wanted to see where Ben was which made it a perfect time. I could never do that by myself....yet. Plus- it gave them a chance to see a little more of OK. We ate pizza by the fountain and the kids LOVED it. They actually did really well eating out and about.

Then today we went out to lunch. OK is known for BBQ, tested it out, so good. Once again went good given all the circumstances. Kids ate while food was being prepared and then they snacked off us when food arrived. They liked the BBQ too!!

When the kids woke up from their afternoon nap we checked out Arcadia Lake. We have never been there and it is only 9 miles away. We weren't very smart though. Went to the lake and didn't bring swimsuits?? Don't know what we were thinking. But the rule is any kids (no matter the age) has to have a life-vest on or will get fined. Kids don't have them but still stripped down and had a ton of fun. We're training them to like Lake Powell in case we ever make it back. It turned out to be awesome-- so we did some shopping tonight and will try it out again on Monday since we didn't make other plans.( Carlsons..... we have to go when you get home!!) We love having Grandpa and Grandma here and hope they are enjoying it so far... off to watch College Football.
