Brendan, Kylie and I go rafting in the pool. Kylie tried several times to tip over her aunt. No luck. We also had a few swimming races and invented Kylie's own stroke.
Later that afternoon, my friends Sunshine and Stacy arrived for a short visit. Sunshine, her hubbie and daughter made the drive from Lubbock to see us and meet Kelsey. Stacy and her girls came from Shawnee. It was so wonderful to see them, though the visit was much too short. All of our kids swam in the pool and played together. We glimpsed our future. The girls were in a tent playing. Brendan came up on them with his new robot and "scared" the girls. They screamed endlessly. Why do I think we'll see this scene played out again, when Kelsey's having a sleepover and the big brothers are playing along?
Sunshine (center), Stacy, Kelsey and I pose for a photo. We still look as young as we did during our college days!
Our children: Ryan (almost 2), Kirby (4), Brooke (5), Brendan (almost 5), and Kelsey (2 months). Skyler wasn't in the mood to have her photo taken.
Saturday we had breakfast at our favorite OKC spot, Jimmy's Egg. Then we let the boys swim before putting Ryan in bed for a nap. Our flight was at 4:30, and we made it to the airport in plenty of time. The kids were great on the airplane, though Ryan became restless toward the end. I'm sure the rest of the passengers thought his screaming was annoying, but I was pleasantly surprised that he didn't scream more. Brendan, on the other hand, spent most of his time coloring and playing games in his activity books.
Though we were all sad to leave, we were happy to be home. It's always fun visiting our families. Some day, we hope it's just a short drive to get home.
