The big wheel race and a rodeo!

Our city had a second annual Big Wheel Race for kids a couple of weeks ago. Sophie LOVES her big wheel and is very fast on it, so we signed her up! It was cute watching her race with the other kids, and if those bigger boys hadn't been in her heat, she surely would have won!


Stretching before the big race


Dad and Elsie were Sophie's "pit crew." Elsie kept leaning up to Sophie and telling her, "Go really fast, Sophie!"














We also went to a "rodeo" at the state fair park with the Slovinsky's. They had kids activities like learning how to lasso and shooting pretend guns at a target from a "horse."







Bailey and Gage...they were content sitting in their strollers and trying to pull each other's hair!
















Our cute cowgirls!

Grammy and Pop's visit

Gage and Pop had a special connection, especially since Pop insists that Gage looks just like he did as a baby!



Mike and his dad went scuba diving in Lake Murray...not much to see, but they seemed to have fun anyway! And it was a nice way to beat this Oklahoma heat!


One of our neighbors recently told us that he's gone to auctions at storage places, like that show on tv called Storage Wars. Basically, these storage places auction off storage units that have been abandoned by the owners. Mike and his mom have seen the show and wanted to check a real auction out. They said it was very interesting (and offered some interesting Oklahoma people watching as well!).


We braved the 104 degree heat and took a trip to the zoo!






The was Elsie and Gage's first carousal ride!


There are many more pictures, but I think they were on Grammy's camera.

Thanks for coming out, Grammy and Pop!!!
