After we met friends in OKC, we headed to Alex's parents. We had a fun stay - feeding the goats, shooting guns and playing with Papa John's toys, playing baseball in the rain, playing in the mud, board games, fishing, playing at the park, mini golf, riding a train, hiking, homemade ice cream, movies & popcorn, riding the tractor, and picnic at the pond (with grilled hamburgers), and fun with the neighbor's dog. Just right!
Owen got to take a special outing one day with Alex and uncle Jim. Owen was so happy!
The kids loved the neighbor's dog, named Fly, who started coming around every evening.
We went to just LOOK at the dogs at the pound in OK, since we hadn't had any luck finding a good dog in CA. After many promises and begging from the boys, they finally talked me into taking this 3 month old border collie home with us. (It's possible that this puppy is one of Fly's puppies - because Fly had puppies not too long ago.)
Since we still had yet to visit my parents in TX, Fay and John kept the dog while we were in TX. Alex brought the dog with him after his work in OK was done. We named her Kiamichi - Kai (KI) for short. Kai stayed at my parents for a day before we headed home. (She traveled surprisingly well - no accidents).
I still can't believe we have a dog now... but she is cute and active, just like 5 kids that I know!
