Mom and Dads Escape!

After a long night at Six Flags, Jared and I went up to Oklahoma and checked out a few sites. It was really fun. We hiked up on some trails in some different places. We first went to Chickasaw National Park and went through some natural springs. The water was of course cold and beautiful. Crystal clear. It was fun to be out outdoors and not feel like we were melting. Not to mention the scenery was beautiful. After that we went up and saw An antique Tractor show. It was hilarious, I felt so country watching these tractors race... to see who could idle the slowest. We walked around and checked out all the tractors. I've never seen so many old people in overalls!! Good country Folk, all of them so nice! Then we headed up to Turner Falls Park. It was awesome! We are taking the kids next time because they have a ton of shallow spots to let the kids splash around in. They had a huge slide and just a great out doors area! We stayed over night in a little cabin and Slept in! Yeah, but we still got up at 8, but that was sleeping in! Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kiddos!

Jared actually jumped in the freezing water!

Frito Lay Six Flags Day!!

We went to Dallas because my Dads company rents out six flags and has a private party. They provide you with 10$ spending money per ticket and you can get Pepsi and Frito Lay products all over the park complimentary. It was way fun Brooke was hilarious to watch. I really wanted to take her on this kids roller coaster but Brooke was still a little too short. They have all these rides she can go on by herself so it was fun too watch her be a little more independent. We were lucky we went with my parents too. Jared and I got to go on a few our self. It was fun to feel like a big kid again. I don't have the stomach like I used too. I have to be more careful about the rides we go on. Jared just makes fun of me, but I'd rather that then be sick the rest of the time. Caleb really is such a good baby. He just sat in the stroller checking out all the colors and events going on.

Super MOM!!
I could barely watch them do this one!!
This plane was funny because you control the plane going up and down. Brooke kept looking at the other kids up in the air and didn't understand why she wasn't going up. She finally got it at the end though. She was so proud!

Brooke on the swings, We did this like 20 times. There was no wait and she loved it.
This ride goes up and makes a bunch of short drops. She cracked up at it!

We had a Blast! Thanks for letting us come Dad!
