small update in pictures

The last weekend in August we had a good time with Spencer around. He had worked some weekends that month and it was nice to have him around. That Friday we drove up to Bartlesville (about 45 min away) to go to the Kiddie Park. It's a bunch of carnival rides for kids up to age 10. Most rides are a 25 cent ticket, some are two. Adults get in free. We met up with a couple of other med school families - one in our ward and the other in the stake - and had a great time watching the kids have a ball! It was the latest we've stayed out in quite a while, but it was definitely worth it. Benny and Andy are definitely about cautious fun. Lilia was confined to the stroller the whole time, but she did well. We really didn't do all that many rides, but the kids thoroughly enjoyed it - particularly the train ride at the end - complete with tunnel that Benny still mentions ever once-in-a-while.

First Spencer took the boys to ride the "horsies" on the carousel. They were a little scared.

They loved the airplane ride! Unfortunately Benny wasn't able to pull back hard enough on the lever to lift them up. They still had a great time, though.

Lilia enjoyed watching.

One of their favorite rides (they went twice) was this horse and carriage ride. It just went around in a small circle. Very tame, but right up their alley.

The next day we went for a short walk on the river walk after enjoying some good frozen yogurt (you get the cup, pick your own yogurt from a large variety and put in any number of mix-ins and pay for the weight). The kids really enjoyed the frozen yogurt and the walk. They loved seeing the bears!

Yes, Andy is wearing a cape!
I'll put up more pictures of the capes I made for the boys some day. They both really enjoy them, but Andy especially. He wears his often to the store and anywhere else we go!
If you ask him who he is he answers, "I am Pince Phi-yip!"
He also loves Sleeping Beauty. :)
