Holiday weekend + living in Dallas = road trip to Oklahoma for a visit.
Matt & Jonathan still enjoy driving, rolling and generally throwing cars and trucks up and down the driveway and sidewalks at Nana and Pawpaw's house.
This picture cracks me up! Can't remember what he was saying.
The peek-a-boo tree out front is always a magnet.
Peek-a-boo
Monkey see, monkey do
The boys found a worm on the sidewalk. The next few pictures are great! You can just see on their faces how they discover nature, and how Nick freaks Matt out by touching the worm!
Nana and I took the boys to the local 4th of July parade the next morning. It was a bit drizzly out, but we hung in there and the boys were troopers, heavily entertained by all the vehicles and entertainment in the parade.
Nana and Jonathan walked to our parade sight together.
Nana got the boys flags for the holiday weekend. They proudly waved them all morning.
No shortage of ice pops, as the stand was right behind us.
Another ice pop?
Coooold!
Intense parade watchers
Still hanging onto the flags.
He squatted through much of the parade. We couldn't understand how his knees weren't aching.
Blue lips from all the ice pops!
Pointing out something cool in the parade!
Nana's umbrella was a big hit with Matt.
It was a wet walk back to the car.
The weekend was a bit wet, but we decided to try to make a picnic and play at the playground.
Jonathan didn't mind the weather!
Off to feed the ducks with Nana and Uncle Mike.
I think Jonathan ate more crackers than he gave to the ducks.
Matt wasn't sure if he wanted to feed the ducks or hit some baseballs.
He voted for baseball.
Daddy & Pawpaw help out with the stance.
4th of July and we went crazy. First time for me to be around fireworks while they were being set off, and first time for the boys to see the fireworks. Yes, they stayed up that late (and went a little loony along the way!).
Matt wasn't too sure about the volume of all the fireworks.
Matt was hesitant, but curious.
Matt was running a lot. Jonathan wasn't sure he wanted to be involved and Matt fled in every direction.
Camped out in the parking lot for the best views of the fireworks!
The boys were bathed and in pjs, but nowhere near sleepy with all the excitement.
The boys brought along their dogs for the display.
It was unbelievable to both of us, but the boys stayed awake the entire ride home. I couldn't believe it. They were a mess!
