We spent an entire, uninterrupted Father's Day wknd. in Broken Arrow w/ Mom and Dad. We didn't even tell many people that we were coming in town since we're always torn in so many directions trying to see (just a fraction of) the people that we want and need to see. Therefore, we just got to relax and spend time together. Patrick and I can't remember the last time that we got to spend actual Father's Day in OK w/ my Dad, so it was pretty special getting to be there this yr.
On Friday night, I surprised the beautiful girls that I used to baby-sit so many Summers (Hannah and Haven Scrimsher) as their high school color guard performed their '2010 Summer Dance Project' @ the BAHS PAC. It was an Avatar theme and set to the music from the hit new release Avatar. It was AWESOME! And it was done almost completely in the dark w/ glow bands around their neck/wrists/ankles. They did a fantastic job and I was very happy that I got to see them perform again. I love them both very, very much and I can't believe that they're BOTH in the BA Pride (marching band/color guard) now!
On Saturday, Kennedy, Mom and I went to the farmer's market downtown BA. Mom had been wanting to go for some time, but never had a free Sat. morning to be able to do so. She had already bought a fresh pineapple, blueberries, ears of corn, cherries and zucchini b/f we arrived. And we even brought a yummy watermelon w/ us. But, we found some lovely squash, red potatoes and fresh green beans @ the market that we couldn't pass up! Kennedy really enjoyed getting to see what all the farmers brought to sell and she wanted us get a little bit of everything I think! And OBVIOUSLY...we ate fresh, healthy fruits and veggies ALL wknd. long! And if you know me well @ ALL...you KNOW that I was just ELATED! SO DELICIOUS! And our kids just gobbled it all up too!
It was too hot to do much around town later on Sat., so we resorted to some water play in the yard. We took our sprinkler and slip 'n slide w/ us, and the kids had a big time as you can imagine! They esp. loved when we would hurl them down the slip 'n slide as hard as we could and they would land in the pool of water @ the end. : ) Too fun!
Sunday, we were able to attend my home church on Father's Day w/ my parents. And after the kids' naps, we spent some more time outside playing w/ bubbles and watering flowers. Oh the simple things in life ~ how I love them!
It was a WONDERFUL wknd. and we can't wait to do it again!

So, so, SO nice to go back home and just be there. Like you said, good ol' fun! It looks like the kiddos had a blast with Gammi and Pops. I will have to ask my parents if they have been to the farmers' market there.
Looks like everyone had a wonderful time! I just love reading about your family :) Your little ones are so precious!
