 My sister Kelly, her two kids, and my mom made the drive to Oklahoma a few weekends ago to take advantage of their Fall break.  So, naturally, I loaded up the family and went to Oklahoma City to join in on the fun!  Why only have 5 kids under one roof when you can have 7?!!

We did all sorts of great adventures.....first up was the zoo!

Olivia LOVED feeding the giraffes!
She won't ride a pony, but she will let the giraffe
lick her hand?!  I don't get it.

lunch break!

our attempt at a group shot in the bamboo shoots...

silly crew.....awaiting the elephant show!

having fun with the boys.

Nana got lots of loving over the weekend.

Kaylynn carried Jordan in the carrier!  It is fabulous
having her around because she is so helpful with the little
ones.  And when did she grow up into such a beautiful young
lady?!  I feel old....

There was also pumpkin painting for the littles and carving for the bigs....

not afraid to stick her hand down in the pumpkin!

Jordan, Drew, and Olivia found plenty of time for wrestling.....

Jordan has him pinned!!

We also did lots of snuggling and reading.....

Aunt Kelly and Carter were snuggle buddies all weekend!

We ended the trip with an outing to Storybook at the Forest.  We walked through the trails looking at exhibits from favorite nursery rhymes.  It was a LONG wait to get into the park, but well worth it.  The children had a ball and we enjoyed having all of the kids dressed up at the same time.  It gave us a taste of the sweet life we would have if we all lived near one another.
