You know you're in the country when...

...over a 5 day period, you've picked 6 ticks off of your kids!

Yes, that happened to us. But don't worry, it was nothing major. Just day to day life in the country in Oklahoma! They survived to tell about it. :-)

We had such a blast. Here's a short run-down: riding around in Papa's truck, playing on our old rocking horse, chasing Buddy (my dad's dog), Kiddie Park, my grandma's 85th birthday party, visiting with LOTS of family, playing in my old "treehouse" (more like a playhouse since it's not actually IN a tree), feeding carrots to the neighbor's horse, riding on Papa's tractor and lawn mower, more Kiddie Park, more chasing buddy, getting ticks, going to Grand Lake, riding on the boat/tube/knee board, seeing more family, and running around the endless amounts of land at my parents house! Every kid needs a place like this to run around!

Here are some pictures to document our trip:
