Oklahoma

We didn't stay in Texas long, though!  

The very next weekend, we drove up to Oklahoma to visit Candace and Jeremy!

We took the kids to Home Depot on Saturday morning for the free craft, only to discover that we were too late and they were all gone.  That will happen when over 300 kids show up to build a plane from the new movie, "Planes"!

These kids were happy to roll with the punches though!  

That afternoon, the pool came out!  Eve was very willing to help fill it!  (She remembered her lessons from Uncle Lance in proper hose handling!)

While the men supervised the pool-time play, Candace and I snuck away for a little birthday shopping!  It's so fun to have a friend with a birthday only 6 days apart from yours!  We enjoyed that for the past 21 years!

It was great to spend some time catching up, just the two of us, but soon enough, it was time to head back and rescue the men.  Turns out, they didn't need it.  

But we did make ourselves useful by providing the refreshments - with some help from four little willing hands!

While the boys did their version of hanging out:

And the kids did theirs:

We had a blast with the Baldwins (as always!) and can't wait for our next get together!  By then, they'll have a new addition in their family and we can't wait to meet him!
