Last Day at the Pool

 Yesterday was the last weekday of the pool season here since public school starts next week.  It's going to get pretty hot next week, so I'm glad we have a membership at the indoor pool!

Last summer Jack spent one of our pool days going down the slide 100 times.  This was his 101st slide of the day--he finally stopped at 115!

Wrapping Up

 Since we've been doing math and geography all summer, we're not starting our regular school year until after Labor Day.  All of the public school start soon, though, so things are starting to close down.  Yesterday we started at the pool, which will only be open one more week.

 After going back and forth about whether or not we should risk possible storms, we decided to head to the Kiddie Park one more time.  I'm so glad we did, because the weather was absolutely perfect!

 The company was good, too!

 And there may have been a lot of sugar involved...

 Jack thought the tiny cars were funny!

Last train ride of the summer!

Camp Week, Part 2

 Thursday started out rainy, too, and what was normally a 15-20 minute drive to the zoo turned into over an hour!

 After class, we went next door to the science museum.  (Obligatory space capsule pic.)

 They have a Lego area!

 Alice was very excited to get back on the spinner.

 After the science museum, we headed to the art museum.

 We went specifically to see the Chihuly exhibit, which was temporarily gone the last time we visited.

 I'm pretty sure we need a ceiling like this in the next house.

 They also have a few other hands on pieces on the third floor.

 We had dinner at Zio's, of course.

 Since the weather cleared up, we took a boat ride!

 (Seen from the boat.)

 We stopped in at the Bricktown Candy Co. and Jack found something he loves!

 Giant lollipops!

 Friday was our last day.  I'm not sure I could do an entire year in the pick up line!

 We went by the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum on our way home.

 We used to go quite a bit when Jack was little, but we haven't been there since Alice was 1!

We had a great time, but it was good to get home!

Camp Week!

 Last Monday we left for a week in Oklahoma City for the kids to go to zoo camp.  We didn't leave bright and early, but we got there in good time.

 We started at the Sam.

 We got to ride in the best elevator!

 Next we headed over to the playground and skate park to play a while.

 Cooling off at the splash pad!

 While we were downtown we saw the James Garner statue.

 After grocery shopping (I had to pack their lunches for camp each day), we checked in to the hotel and went swimming.

 Tuesday was the first day of camp!

 While the kids were in class, I went to the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.

 This is a beautiful place.  If you've never been before, I wouldn't take your kids into the museum without seeing it first for yourself, though.

 After I picked the kids up, we went to Frontier City.  Alice started on the tea cups.

 Ready for the raft ride!

 In the ferris wheel

 They have a large water area now.

 Happy girl!

 Jack went on a ton of spinning rides and didn't feel very good by the time we left!

 He's somewhere on that loop!

 

 Alice was willing to try a lot of things, but she wasn't tall enough for some rides and some would have required me to ride with her, and that wasn't going to happen.  She did get to ride the Steel Lasso, though, and she loved it!

 She also loved this ball pit.  I think she would have stayed in there all night!

Wednesday was crazy rainy, so after camp we went to Andy Alligator's for half price games.  We came back with some real treasures.  That evening we went to see Earth to Echo, which we all liked.  

More on the rest of the week soon!
