it's a 'wrap'!

We carefully planned out our
last full day with Silas and
Cora to make sure
that we'd be able to include the
remaining
activities on the 'things to do
this week' list.

 So we were at Hunter Park for some hook-baiting
and casting
and waiting and watching and
long enough to
see some fish-loving birds
getting the fish that we weren't.

We told Silas that sometimes you catch a fish
and sometimes you catch a memory.  He seemed
good with that.  And the sunshine was so good
that everybody was happy.

Then we headed to Brookside
and ordered frosty mugs of root beer floats
with a side of corn dogs for lunch.

Chillin'

This corn dog for Silas turned
out to be an appetizer.  He ate two more
of them once we got home!

Uncle Brian, Aunt Lara and
Cousin Blake came
from Tahlequah for some play
 time in the afternoon.

 The kids ended up 'wearing' as much bubble
solution as they used to blow bubbles!

Blake was smiling
all afternoon and added
a new word
to his rapidly growing vocabulary:
BUBBLES!

Silas loved 'feeding the fire' with
handfuls of dried leaves.

Cousin Love!

Everybody got in on the 'sandbox action'!

Time to toast marshmallows!

One crispy critter!

A curious boy and the good earth........

........nothing finer.  Really needs no words, right?

While we created dinner, they created
with Play-doh......everybody has a job.

Silas made a Welcome Home Flower
for Dad and Mom.
