Summer 2008 -- Second Trip

Our second trip for the summer was up to Arkansas. It was GranCee's 60th Birthday celebration. We all had a wonderful time. Lots of fun. Some of the activities that the girls enjoyed were the swing set, zip line, paddle boat, golf cart, swimming pool, fishing, singing Happy Birthday to GranCee, and playing with all of the other kids. Mr. D only got to stay for a few days. He flew out of Little Rock back to Houston to catch his flight to Doha. The girls and I stayed for about a week and a half. I was trying to get enough courage to get in the car and drive us all home. But the trip only took about 10 hours and we only had to stop 4 or 5 times for various reasons....not too bad I guess. Here are some pics and videos.

Lil N's first fish. (That's my girl...fun to catch, but not fun to touch or take off.)

Not to be outdone, here comes Lil H....take note of her dismount.

And finally, the girls went off a diving board for the first time. It was a little scary at first for them, but they finally got the hang of it. Here is a video of them showing off their new skill. Lil H jumps first, and then Lil N. You'll see who is more comfortable with it. (And hear me say "Oh!" and quickly put the camera down.)
