Trip to Oklahoma

We left for Oklahoma on Wednesday to visit Tim's family. It had been a couple of years since we've made the trip, so it was exciting to be with every one again. Holden got to visit with his two cousins. He had so much fun! He's such a people person that being around so many people, especially his cousins, was a real treat for him. He found one toy in particular that he played with almost the entire time--a child's vacuum. It kept him very busy. He would even get down on his hands and knees to vacuum the baseboards and underneath the couch. It was hilarious!

Holden's vocabulary shot through the roof while we were away. By the time we left he was saying "Sit down, Piper," to Uncle Steve and Aunt Brittany's dog. And, "Oh boy!" Makes me want to hang on to whatever baby thing about him is left. Each day I see more and more little boy!

We had such a wonderful time visiting with every one. It's always so nice to catch up!

Water play our first morning there. He had a blast! He was drenched with water and mud!

Daddy and Holden ready to take off!

(Not really. A few more years of ground for Holden. Uncle Steve taxied them around--just as fun!)

There they go!

Here's Holden signing "more" to Steve.

This cat was incredibly layed back. She let Holden practically pull her hair out and hardly complained.
