Trip to OK

For Memorial Day, we decided to head to my parents house. We drove up Thursday. Here we are ready to leave. Because Annabel is still rear facing, it is easiest for me to sit next to her, which means that the we sit in the back and the dog's kennels can't fit in the car. Ginger likes to ride in the front and we lay the seat next to Madison down for Wrigley to lay on ... a bit of a traveling circus.




"I'm going to be in this seat for how long?!?"



Ready to see Grammy and Grandpa



The girls swimming in my parents back yard - they loved this!





Getting Grandpa wet.



Madison and Grammy put puzzles together.



My parents watched the girls on Friday while we went to Grand Lake with some friends. The dock that their boat was stored at had been hit by a tornado. Luckily, their boat did not have too much damage, so Jared helped get it untangled from the dock.

Pics of the tornado damage:



The damage to the houses in the area was terrible. We saw one house standing on it's side and another with a tree on the roof. Amazingly, no one in this area was hurt.

After freeing the boat, we got to ride around the lake a bit and have a really nice dinner with our friends at a restaurant that had a deck overlooking the lake. My parents kept the kids over night ... a much needed night away for us. Thanks mom and dad!
