Clinton Lake

The weekend before we left Kansas Pat did the Legend 100 Triathlon at Clinton Lake (right outside of Lawrence).  We all went camping for the weekend to support him.  The kids had a blast finally getting back in the Airstream.

Here is Pat's cheering section as he goes by on his run.  Cormac's sign says "Go Dad!"

Unexpected trip

We traveled to Virginia last month by way of Oklahoma.  It was a busy trip but the kids were very good with flying.

OKC airport on the way out.

Arrival at Gam-Gam's with lightsabers!

Visiting Ashlawn-Highland where Gam-Gam works to see the sheep and feed the chickens.

Cormac picked out donuts for everyone one morning.

Leaving Virginia to go back to OK.

We had a long layover at Dulles.  Maggie napped and Gus and I played checkers.

Window seat!

No window seat for Gus.

Cartoons at Grandma's

The final leg of the trip in Broken Arrow with my best college pals and their families.

Finally the drive home.

A small glimpse of moving

As we are in the middle of yet another move I snapped a few pictures to show what goes on.

Boredom.

Last minute fort building before the furniture is wrapped.

Last minute playing before toys are packed.

Napping.  Because I lucked out with 4 sick kids (all at different times--never all together) during the pack out and load.

Paper fortune tellers.  We did this to combat some of the boredom.  I hadn't made one of these since elementary school and it was a little too much fun. I am thinking of doing one for chores...

New sleeping arrangements once the furniture is gone. All of the kids have their own cots.  Cormac wanted to put his in Maggie's room and sleep next to her because he was worried that she would fall out of her cot. 

Spartan living room furniture.

End of the season

The soccer and baseball seasons wrapped up this past week.  I think both boys had a good time on their teams.  Cormac is a little soccer stud and so fun to watch.  Gus really showed so much improvement in his throwing and batting--it was awesome to watch.

Royals vs. Yankees

Last weekend we met up with Grandma and Tony at the K for the Royals vs. the Yankees.  It was perfect weather for baseball and the kids had a blast!
