Broken Arrow - Here we come (again)!

This past week we made a last minute decision to head to Broken Arrow for a little "getaway" from Wednesday until Saturday. Before we left though, we headed to cousin Will and Zach's house to check out their new playhouse that Uncle Patrick built. We were quite impressed and the kids had a great time playing in it.

We left Wednesday afternoon so we didn't do much that night except go to the Woodland Hills Mall and let the kids play and then we headed to Hideaway Pizza (yummy) for dinner. Thursday it rained (big surprise) and instead of going to the zoo that day we took the girls and saw "Ratatouille". The girls seemed to enjoy it overall but I thought it was kind of long. Meredith is a bit of a scaredy (sp?) cat so in the beginning when the lady was trying to shoot the rats was not a good start. But, eventually, she took her hands off of her ears and stopped crying and we made it through the movie. Of course, while Meredith was scared, Alli declares, "I'm not scared." That pretty much sums up the differences in my two girls. Thursday evening we headed to Chuck E. Cheese's and met my brother and Carlee. Staci came along with us on all of our adventures as well and she was such a great help. We all managed to play enough games and earn enough tickets to get each of the girls a little squishy ball thing and they were pleased.

On Friday we headed to the zoo and luckily it was just overcast after raining the night before. My sis-in-law Carrie brought cousin Carlee as well and the girls just had a great time. Cydnee stayed at home with Carrie's mom. Of course, Alli and Carlee wanted to splash in every puddle they could find which was pretty funny. They were a little disappointed that the polar bear exhibit was under construction but the disappointment lasted about 20 seconds and they were on to the next exhibit. That evening my parents watch my girls and Chris and Carrie's parents watch their girls and we met up with them at PF Chang's which was quite delicious as normal. It was great visiting with them without the children for a change and it was a great time.

That brings us to Saturday and we headed home around lunchtime. My dad was moving his carport to the back of the house to make room for the addition that they're adding on so the granddaughters got to put their hand prints in the cement which was neat. If you haven't heard, my parents are adding on another bedroom and bathroom so my grandmother can move in with them. We are all very excited and hope the plans will be approved soon.
