Oklahoma (part 2)

 What else can you cram into your last week with cousins?  Plenty!!!

 We celebrated this little chickie's birthday!  Hazel is such a hoot!  She's full of feisty one-liners.  Uncle Curt's going to be in trouble with this sassy chick!

 We spent loads of time just watching the kids play, as long as they kept their feet, clothing and toys off the ground.  Dodger dog is quite the sneak-attack chewer!

 We made a little trip out to the Oklahoma City temple after church on Sunday.  And then we broke the law (unintentionally) trying to make our way back through the toll roads.

  We spent several afternoons swimming at the neighborhood pool, and Jenny's!

  We did some tricks and had some intense dodge ball fights at the trampoline gym.

 We had a few craft sessions!

 We even enjoyed a double golf date.  Never mind the fact that it was about 115 degrees with a million percent humidity at three in the afternoon.  And never mind the fact that the kids "accidentally" flooded the playroom while we were gone.  It was worth it just to watch Curt try to murder the golf ball with his beautiful back swing! 

 On our last night, we had to make the traditional stop at Pop's Gas Station on Route 66.

 Best pop around!!!

 It was definitely a tear-filled morning when we had to say goodbye to these little faces.  I'm pretty sure I cried clear to Kansas.  It's been months since the big visit and my kids still can't stop talking about how much fun they had with their cousins, how much they miss them and how it would totally work if they moved into our basement. 

 It was a great vacation.  Now if only our butts could get some feeling back in them!  Recovering from 50+ hours in the car can be excruciating.  Just look it what it did to Klive, who aired his tired, sweaty car butt out at the Outback!
