Labor Day Weekend and OU Game!

We had a great Labor Day weekend and attended our first college football game! We got up early Saturday to drop the munchkins off at Aunt Jan's house (thank you sooooooo much, Aunt J!!) before heading to OKC, Oklahoma to meet our really good friends Christal and Mitch. We shopped a little before heading to Norman to wander the campus (somewhat aimlessly, Mitch) til the game started. It ended up being a complete blow-out with OU crushing U of North Texas 79-10, which we missed because we left halfway thru the 3rd quarter. We then went out for a late dinner and some very bad billiard-playing before calling it a night at the local Travelodge. We had a lovely breakfast the next morning before parting ways to head home to our respective kiddos. Our munchkins had had a blast with Aunt J, eating dinner at McD's before riding the train (twice!) and the kiddie rides at her local park. They're already ready to go back - I think the "chocolate cake for breakfast" thing sealed the deal!

After picking up the kids we headed to Aunt Tammy's house for a family BBQ. The kids had a blast playing in the pool with my cousins' kids and Paul had a blast hunting for doves with my cousins' husbands (needless to say, VERY few doves were harmed for the making of this post).

Monday was spent working in the yard with a late-afternoon break to play cards and eat pizza with our neighbors.

Unfortunately, out of all this excitement I only got pics of the OU game, so here they are:
