OK with G&G

My parents flew me and the boys out for a visit. It was a wonderful visit, despite the 100+ degree weather plus humidity that we aren't used to. :) We enjoyed the time with my parents, and seeing Tahlequah, OK. It's actually a very nice place, and they are very happy there.

My parents have a puppy named Chewbacca (Chewy for short). Brenton loved him. He loved everything about him.

We went with my parents to a University football game. The boys enjoyed it. (Mostly because of the snacks and drinks they got to have while there.)
Below: Notice they had some blue candy. :)





My dad took us on a float trip down the river. It was lots of fun. The river was super low, so it was pretty slow. My dad actually ended up paddling most of the way. (We were going too slow for him.)

Since my dad is acting president for the University, we got the royal treatment. There were lots of other people there doing float trips, but we were able to have our own bus taking us to the starting point in the river. It's nice to know people who are popular. :)

Us ready for the trip.
We stopped part way down the river and let the boys play.

Above: Grandma told Alex to make sure and get Grandpa super wet. So, this was one of his first attempts at that.

Afterwards, we bought the boys some drinks. They loved sitting at the soda bar. (Yes, there is a soda bar at the raft rental place.)


My mom took us to Branson, MO to see Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede. We stayed in a super nice motel (free from my parents hotel points), which my mom was able to get upgraded. Our room was AWESOME!
