OOOOOO-klahoma

 So here's to my blog's biggest fans - you other nine are important yes... but these guys check it way too often! The kids and I went to WF with Memma after getting home from Florida.  A day trip to OKC was in order as we were so much closer than when home - seemed silly not to go the extra two hours.  Grandma Nelson came over and ate lunch with Great Nanny, Great Pa, (Great) Aunt Peggy, and cousin (first cousin once removed?  :)  ) Melinda.
 Miss Katie is not to happy about the picture with Grandma Nelson! Thanks for the new dresses and clothes!
 Melinda came to visit - and play puzzles
 Memma made the trip with us... played iPad - the biggest hit of the trip I think.
 Great Pa loves his kids - four kids, fifteen grandkids, and up to 7 1/4 (you Sam! :) ) great grandkids.
 And Coop and Meg love the tea set.  Cooper went around offering everyone  coffee or water.  Sometimes being told what you were getting instead of a choice.  I wish we had a picture of all the grandkids through the years playing with that tea pot.
 Almost 83 years old and throwing that kid around like nothing while Great Nanny prefers the calmer loving approach...

Follow the progression of hide and seek around the chair.  The biggest kid of all is sitting in the chair!

 As seems to happen with all overly hyper playtimes, boo-boos tend to happen. Sidenote: I do wish I always had a sky light for this lighting!





 I guess we could say Pa is stubborn? I don't know how many babies I've watched him try and try to
calm down when upset.  Most get frustrated and hand back to Mommy, but not Pa. He wants to do it himself!

Thanks for letting us come visit. Tag you're it - come see us next.  We are so blessed to have great grandparents in our lives.

Their living room looks so different with wood floors. Not sure I approve. Is that really nanny's house? :)
