Sis in Town

My sister Rachel came to visit for about 10 days with her adorable boy Henry. We definitely spent some time relaxing at home (during nap time!) but I also attempted to show her some of what Oklahoma has to offer. We visited several parks for the kids, the Oklahoma Bombing Memorial in the evening on 9-11, a GREAT consignment sale (where we bought A LOT of great kids clothes!), watched one of Ryan's soccer games, to name a few. This day we took her to Pops for dinner, and Orange Tree for dessert.
Here are the crazy kids at Orange Tree. We got a bowl of chocolate with all the yummy toppings, and a bowl of fruit yogurt with granola and fruit toppings. It is very addicting!
My crazy little man climbing under the table. 3 adults and 4 kids under the age of 6 is A LOT!
I loved having Rachel and Henry here. It was refreshing having grown-up conversations during the day. And she was a huge help! The kitchen was always clean at night, whether she did the dishes or played with the kids while we did the dishes. Brenna has already said she misses them, and while getting the kids in the car this morning, I tried putting Cannon in the carseat Henry used, and he refused! He kept saying "En-Y (Henry) chair! En-Y chair!" We miss you!

P.S. I'm craving Orange Tree. Too bad there are none here!
