This weekend we made a short trip to Ponca City because a friend of mine was having a baby shower on Saturday. We drove down Friday evening and had dinner with Noni, Papa, Uncle Tyler and Aunt April and then spent the night at Noni and Papa's. Fun! The next morning we went into Noni's backyard to explore! This is one of the boys favorite things to do! They head outside, in their PJ's, and feed the fish, hunt rollie pollie's and worms, collect sticks and rocks and hike around the pond. This Saturday morning was particularly fun because the weather was so calm and cool. I went outside with the boys carrying my cup of coffee and my camera and captured my little explorers in action! Maddox collected bugs in a jar and Ashtyn followed. He's kind of afraid to pick up the bugs.
I think Noni and Maddox may have turned over nearly every rock in the backyard looking for the biggest rollie pollies...
Ashtyn eventually settled down on the side porch and played a make-shift game of checkers with some of Noni's outdoor statuary. I played against him and he beat me. I think it's because we were playing by "Ashtyn's rules" which are pretty much "Ashtyn does whatever he wants"! Ha! I wonder where he got that from...!?!?
After we played outside and ate breakfast, but before we got dressed, the boys had some wrestle time with daddy! It started out with the boys hiding under the covers and getting kind of rowdy and then daddy joined in! It was so funny!
Our trip to Ponca City was WAY too short. By the time we got home on Saturday we had been away from the house for less then 24 hours. We really need to make the time for a longer visit but now that school has started it's really difficult to get away. The boys love visiting Noni and Papa, though, so hopefully we can fit in another visit before the holidays.
