spring break day 4

thursday i woke up and decided i wanted to go see my parents a day early.  so the varmints and i packed up and headed to edmond.  on the way there, we had to make a little detour because i was on a secret mission for the smors!

back in november 4 friends and i (a.k.a. smors) took a road trip from catoosa, ok to arcadia, ok along route 66.  we stopped in this antique store in kellyville.  the owner of the store was less than friendly to us, and when we were being silly and taking pictures of each other and of the cool stuff she had in her store she said, "you guys are really freaking me out with your cameras!" so she earned the nickname madge.  unfortunately in all of our picture-taking, NONE of us got a picture of madge!!!  

so i decided to take a little side trip thursday, and sneak a photo of madge.  when i explained to spencer why i was stopping at this store HE volunteered to take the picture for me!!!  she never even saw him take it!  so my picture of the day for thursday is dedicated to the smors!

mom and i went treasure hunting in edmond at a couple of thrift stores and antique stores, while the boys hung out with my dad.  while pappy grilled burgers {he makes the BEST burgers, sorry daryl} the boys and i went exploring at the creek behind their house.  here are some pics from our little exploration:

i found this little squirrel when i was looking for the wood-pecker that was knocking on a nearby tree!

i love the bare toes, colby!

natural beauty

colby was fascinated with the ant colony and begged for the camera so he could take a picture of it!  of course i didn't say no!

this stump was actually a 20-foot tree until one night in january.  while my parents slept a beaver (or beavers) snuck into their yard and took the ENTIRE tree down and carried it off!
