Labor Day

I really wanted to do something with water so my friend Amber, and I were trying to think of places nearby to take our families. Finally, after much deliberation, er, indecisiveness, we chose to go to Ponca City to their Sun-N-Fun waterpark. It was just a little over an hour away and not too bad on prices. The place was somewhat run down, like the slides needed painting, hedges trimmed, weeds and branches all over, etc. Other than that, I'd say it wasn't bad. They had a huge water slide type thingy that Kort lived on most of the day!

Obviously this isn't Kort, but it's what the slide was. We started out sitting behind him to go down. Then gradually went on our own side holding his hand, until he would go down next to us all by himself! He definitely loved that thing. 

They also had a lazy river with tubes to sit on, a wave pool that Clay and him played in. There was a kiddie area that had a mini water slide that Kort could go down by himself (about 10 feet) and he loved that just as much. 

I actually took Griffin down it with me as well and he didn't seem to mind it! Griffin did great through the day. He fell asleep in his car seat so I sat and watched Clay and Kort. Finally at the end of the day, the Clark's watched Kort and Griffin for a few minutes while Clay and I went down the big slide with inner tubes. It was fun!

We left the park and grabbed some food at this mexican restaurant which was actually inside their airport terminal, if you could call it an airport ;) 

Great day with great company.

Columbus Day

Sunday night rolls around, and I'm already thinking about the long week ahead until Clay gets to be home for the weekend. Out of no where, he asked me what time I fed Griffin in the morning. I told him when he wakes up, around 7, and then around 11. Clay was wanting to go shooting the next day. He asked if I wanted to go. I asked how that would work. Would he take some time off work, would I just drive there, who would watch the kids? After being in the dark and not knowing what was going on, he finally told me that he had the day off (ding, ding, ding, because of Columbus Day) and we would be going together to go shooting, and our friends were volunteering to watch the kids :) How I didn't realize Clay had the day off, I don't know, but I was super excited!

It was raining all morning long, but we still decided that rain wouldn't stop us. Clay really wanted to try out some of his new guns. We dropped the kids off at our friend's house and headed out.

We got to some guy's property that Clay knows through having a wind turbine on his land, and it was kind of down in a pit. I don't remember specifically the guns we shot, but I shot a handgun, AR17 I think, and I believe the other was another shotgun. Anyway, it was super fun and I did awesome at hitting the target! Ya'll better watch out ;)

Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse

Our friend/neighbor invited us to Leonardo's back in the beginning of October. We've been there a couple times, but they have changed things up a lot and it was much more adaptive to Kort's age so he had a ton of fun this time!

Kort loves watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates, so he called this rocking ship, the Pirate Ship. Griffin did great the whole couple hours we were there! 

This contraption, you would load the "bricks" and wind them up. The middle picture, Kort was "painting" the wall, and then putting his own flowers together :)
