DUCKS

When Tracy, Abby and I were leaving to go to lunch today, the ducks were in our neighbors yard. We had just had a big rain and I think they after the worms in the yard. I cannot believe how much the baby ducks have grown in just 2 weeks.

KC KIDS/GRANDKIDS VISIT

It was so hot while they were here.  It was 105  when they arrived on Friday,  officially tying the daily record high set in 1943. The heat index was already 117 at 1:30 yesterday. They were going to go a water park or pool nearby but it started to rain about the time they were ready to leave. So, they went bowling instead.

An attempted photo shoot on the pond behind our house on the golf course.  This was in between the rain. Golfers appeared so they  had to run.

Pap-pa and Carter walked up to the golf course one night. They were going to play golf while they were visiting but it was just too hot.
Karlie decided she wanted to play on the slip and slide before they left to go home today. She and Carter had fun but put a hole in it so may be going to Wal-mart to buy a new one.

FAMILY OF DUCKS

When we were leaving to go to dinner last night, we saw a family of ducks coming from the pond behind our house. These ducks were raised in the garage by our neighbors three houses down. Not sure if that is allowed in our neighborhood but they did it anyhow and our neighbor next door was telling us that they are mean and beat up the wild ducks. They sure were cute though all of them waddling along and the bigger ones were scolding their babies.

GOLF CART GARAGES

When we moved in our house a little over over a month ago, we would be driving through the neighborhood and notice houses with odd little garages on the side of their house.  We couldn't understand what they were for.

The other day I saw a listing for a house for sale on our street and it listed it had a golf cart garage.  Well mystery solved.  We do live in a golf course neighborhood after all.

This house is  on our street about three houses up from us.

KC TRIP

We took a break from unpacking and took a trip to Kansas City to watch our grand kids play ball. Tracy and Abby went with us. It is now a six and a half hour drive instead of a 4 hour drive from Oklahoma. But the scenery is definitely a lot prettier this route.


The first night was Carter's game. He even pitched some.

The next night was Karlie's game and it was her last game of the season.  She got a medal and a cupcake.  She was so proud of both.

Carter and his dad played in a golf tournament in another city on Saturday, the day we were leaving. Carter did really good.  They came in 4th place.

Abby and Karlie played Doctor.  Foxa broke her leg and has on a cast in a wheel chair.

FATHER'S DAY LUNCH

We met Tracy, Kim and Abby for church yesterday and then went to lunch for Father's Day.

Abby came over today. It has been so hot and humid here so, we went and bought Abby a slip and slide to play in the water. The heat index was 108 degrees when she was playing on it.
