Our Winter Solctice drive ended with a late arrival at the Vanderveers' house in McAlester, Oklahoma. We stayed up late talking and playing, reconnecting with our friends we hadn't seen in forever. The next day we went to Robbers' Cave State Park and not everyone stayed awake on the drive.
{Eden}
We split up into a Girls' Car and a Boys' Car.
{Dancy, Katie, Haddie, Thora}
Rock climbers
Always jumping off of something.
{Samson}
Robbers Cave is an area in Eastern Oklahoma where Jesse James and Belle Starr (I don't know who she is) would hideout after their robberies.
{Shad, Samson, Dancy, Thora}
Thora is getting better at hiking activities, but it's nice when she'll hold someone else's hand and not hang on me all the time.
{Thora & Dancy}
To the hideout!
Rock slide.
{Shad & Samson)
We're not big selfie people, but occasionally think to snap one of us.
{Tommy, Dancy, Thora & me}
Always collecting sticks!
When my four-year-old sits down next to you, it is with the intent of telling your her life story.
When we met, we each had 2 kids and Mallory was holding an ultrasound picture in the library. I used that as a conversation starter. From there, we took turns with pregnancy announcements, usually overlapping. They moved from Kansas to Oklahoma when I was 8 months pregnant with Samson.
{Paul, Mallory, Shad, me}
All our kids!
{Micaiah, Tommy, Haddie, Eden, Katie, Samson, Dancy, Moaning Myrtle I mean Thora, Eli}
Climbing the boulders again.
{Samson & Eli}
Again, life story.
{Paul, Mallory, Thora}
Roaring boy with a stick.
Night time cuddles with Batman. He played the "Don't you dare kiss my Megan" game with Shad, and this time he promised that he wouldn't. So I kissed HIM.
Then he pushed me off him and quickly ran to Shad to apologize. "Shad, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to kiss your Megan. She kissed me. I'm so sorry! I won't do it again!"
