Editor's note: Due to technological difficulties, I'm missing the photos I had hoped to post with the remaining vacation posts. Those will come later.
Monday was a day of relaxation in OKC for most of us. We did swim, despite cloudy skies and cool water temperatures. The boys slowly warmed up to the water. I have fond memories of my childhood, in which I would swim until my lips turned purple. It was fun to see them do the same, though I did worry that they were too cold at times. (More than Ryan's lips would turn purple. The skin around his mouth was purple, too!)
The highlight of the day: Having lunch with Uncle Kenny and Papa in downtown Oklahoma City. Brendan enjoyed walking through the underground tunnels to the restaurant. I did not enjoy forgetting the stroller, which meant lugging Kelsey's car seat and carting Ryan when he tired of walking. At least I got a workout in.
Tuesday meant amusement park fun for Brendan and his cousin Kylie. After taking a portrait of the four grandchildren for my parents, Brendan, Ken, Kylie and Aunt Jenn headed to Frontier City. It's much smaller than a Six Flags park, so we thought Frontier City would be a good introduction for Brendan. He loved it. After quickly conquering the kiddie rides, he graduated to a few of the bigger rides such as the Wildcat and Renegade Rapids. Though he doesn't care for getting splashed, he loved getting soaked on the water rides. Go figure!
Now we're certain he'll be ready for our August trip to Ohio. We'll visit King's Island, which Ken visited often while growing up in Centerville, Ohio.
Next up: July 4th
