Fall Break

The kids had the 14th to 16th off for Parent Conferences and Fall Break! We decided to see the grandparents in Texas for the break. Dedrick also needed to take some vacation time before the end of the year. It was also time to spend with Dedrick, since he has been traveling a lot this month.

We left Wednesday afternoon, it is a seven hour drive. We got to his parents house a little after seven.The kids were so excited to see grandpa and grandma, they stayed up late just hanging out.

Thursday we got a late start of the day. We hung out at the house playing in the backyard, feeding geese, and watching golfers. Dedrick helped his Dad with a few projects around the house. The kids started to get restless, so Grandma and I took the kids to a park. The kids had fun running around, making friends, and enjoying the two acres of prairie dog reserve in the middle of the park. After playing we went home to BBQ.

Friday morning we went to the Abilene Zoo! It is a small zoo, the most exciting part was getting to feed the animals. That is right, feed the animals! When you buy admission you can also buy the special crackers. The kids had a blast with that, and wanted to stay all day. After the zoo, we met Grandpa and Dad for lunch then went to an Art Museum. After the museum, we went to see "Where the Wild Things Are", it was a good movie. At the end of a good day, we enjoyed some pizza!

Saturday morning, I took the van to get the tires rotated. Why rotate the tires? Well, it was time and they do not have a Discount Tire in Tulsa. Then we packed everything up and said good-bye! The kids were sad to go, but we told them we are coming back in a month for Thanksgiving.

We want to thank grandma and grandpa for everything they did for us. We Love You!
