we spent the fourth at dee's house, with sue and her whole gang coming down for the holiday, too. this was haley's first time to meet aunt lou and her grandkids. i think she was a little nervous to meet them, but everything seemed to go really well. lou took haley and caitlin shopping for swimming suits. while they were all shopping for suits we took kevin and headed to the castle of muskogee with amanda, zach, and tabitha to buy fireworks for later that night. we had a little bit of a scare as we were standing in line and got a call that ryan was having an asthma attack. luckily it was a false alarm and they were able to get it under control before we could get his inhaler to him.
after all the shopping, everyone headed over to the a hotel pool where jim and sue were staying.
there wasn't any sunscreen so i sat poolside most of the time covered up under my dress and a towel. when it was closer to time to leave, {and i was sweltering under the towel} i decided to ditch the layers and hop in the pool for a bit.
as we were getting out of the pool haley said justin would be coming to get her around 4:00 to head over to the land. we had discussed her spending half the holiday with us and half the holiday with my mom, but a plan had never been shared with me. i was a little frustrated because i was planning to drive out there, so it didn't make sense to me to have justin come by the house to get haley. i had no way to get a hold of him, though, because his phone had gotten broken and he was waiting for a replacement to come in.
justin came and picked up haley and i hung out at the lears' until dinner was almost ready, then i headed over to tahlequah. conor hopped in the car with me and away we went. at the light in ft. gibson, we passed justin, lindsay, haley, and parker. conor and i ended up beating them to the land.
while dad was grilling burgers, {super juicy} chicken, and corn, conor and i followed this cute little guy around. this mower {and wheel barrow in the background} were new toys for him.
this funny little face is staged. if you ask parker to "make your face," this is what you get. every. single. time. he's so funny!
mom, dad, justin, lindsay, parker, haley, john bodean, his wife deb, and landon were all there. we had fun eating dinner and cupcakes. i stayed for several hours, but as it started getting darker i decided to head back over to muskogee. i'm glad i decided to leave when i did because conor and i had a beautiful show all the way home. we had the ft. gibson show plus all the fireworks everyone else was shooting along the way. we got back to muskogee in time to see a few of the larger fireworks we had purchased, but i stayed in the house with the boys. oliver and conor really didn't like all the loud noises.
