grant's birthday part 2

we celebrated grant's birthday a second time in a trip to oklahoma. he had to miss 2 basketball games-but it was well worth it to spend some time at the ranch house with the family. roy and dale were able to come and play and the kids kept busy with barbies, writing stories, putting together puzzles, drawing and some outside games when it wasn't too cold.  

we headed down to ryan and becky's to see the pigs, play with bamboo sticks, sit in combine tires and watch ryan and roy work on the new pig pen.

 papa took us down to the field to see a beaver dam and to check on all the new calves.

 notice the girls holding hands-because i don't think i've ever seen them do that spontaneously.

 another treat was a trip to the bowling alley-where i discovered that kids make a lot of great expressions while bowling...
