Spring Break found us visiting Grandpa and Grandma in Oklahoma this week. True to form...these are the only pictures I took.
I won the fish count this time with 3 keepers and 2 little ones (I named one of them Herman...he was just a tad bigger than the bait that caught him).
Colin had a fun adventure while fishing in the boat with Grandpa. We're not sure what happened but the boat flipped and they both ended up in the water. Colin had his life vest on and Grandpa was quick to get him back in the boat. Colin stayed calm until he saw mommy and daddy and then he started crying and shivering. We warmed him up and cuddled by the fire and soon he was telling everyone about his "shipwreck". John has been reading The Black Stallion with the boys. It's a story about a young boy, Alec, and a wild Arabian horse. They just fished the part of the book where they're shipwrecked on their voyage back to America and Alec is saved by the wild Arabian. It's kind of the same.
I also celebrated my birthday while we were there. John's mom made me a homemade apple pie. Delicious! John took me "to town" for dinner and then we rented a movie and watched it in our car while parked lakeside at the nearby state park. It was a lovely day.
We're back home and headed into the first weekend of Spring with a winter storm watch. Ugh! Enough already. Please oh please let there be sunshine soon!
