Spring Break!

Well, Kolby's week of freedom finally arrived!  No tests, no classes, no worries!!!  Just a long list of honey-do's and some good quality time with the family!  We are so proud of Kolby for how hard he works!  I had to include this shot because I just can't resist a man in a white lab coat!  Even though he's on break, he had to do an overnight shift at the hospital in OB on the weekend!  You know, deliver a baby or two! 

(p.s.  Okay, I was sort of joking when I said he would deliver a baby, but he actually got to help deliver a baby!  It was an intense delivery, too.  The doctor said it was way more stressful than he wanted to handle that night.  The baby's shoulders were too big (shoulder dystocia) and by the time they got the baby out, it wasn't breathing.  But they worked on the little guy and had him breathing in a few minutes!  The mom had some complications, too but everyone turned out okay.  Still, a bit scary for your first rotation in OB!  It's a good thing Kolby functions well under pressure!  I would have either passed out from all the blood or started crying with the worried mom!) 

I can't believe our week with Kolby is almost up!  To tell you the truth, we didn't do too much for spring break except play with the girls, get some things done around the house, and work in the yard.  But it was so nice to have him home and not off at school for a change!  We decided to visit the botanical gardens in Oklahoma City on Friday so we could say that we did something fun for spring break!  Well, it was no trip to the tropics, but this is as close as we could get!  It was nice just to be a family! 

This med school thing has been hard on June.  She misses her Daddy a lot!  So she hasn't left his side this week!  
Winnie loved looking at all the tropical plants and animals!  She was having a ball until we took her down in the elevator.  She hates elevators and let us know it for the rest of the day!

This garden is about three stories high and it really feels like you are in a tropical rain forest!  But as you climb, you move into the desert vegetation and Winnie really wanted to touch a cactus!  Because we are such great parents, we told her no!  Well, actually, June was the plant police!  If we even got close to a plant, she reminded us that touching was not an option!  Even when dad got his eye on a nice bunch of bananas!

This shot is from the third floor of the botanical gardens.  That's downtown Oklahoma City in the background.  You know, just some tourism info for those of you who haven't come to visit us yet (Uncle Kory)!

We also stopped by Outdoor World and found this totally cool shooting range for kids!  June and Daddy shot a skunk, a deer, and a jackrabbit - or as June called it, "Dad, shoot that Kangaroo!" (Don't worry all you bunny-huggers, it was just pretend!)

No trip to Outdoor World would be complete without a visit to the giant fish tank!  Okay, so it's no Sea World, but we did see a giant catfish and if we squinted, it looked a little like a shark!  Well, that about wraps up our adventures in the big city!  It was "The Johnsons' Gone Wild"  this spring break, baby!
