A day trip to Wichita falls

Today Beth, the 3 boys, and I took a roadtrip up to Wichita Falls to see another DAMmer! Yes, 3 boys cooped up in a car was wearing...lol but I think they did pretty good overall, we had no major incidents, no major injuries to report (some skinned knees and elbows), all in all it was a fun trip! I'm exhausted as all get out though, and crazy sore! We walked a trail out there, which was about 3.4 miles roundtrip. It took us about an hour and 40 minutes all total, including a few photops, etc. Check out the pics for the bit of drama we did have! I don't have just a ton of em, but I know Abbie and Beth both got some good ones too...here are mine from the day...

Off to our picnic, and the boys have to carry the cooler. They had some issues at first...

But after a few struggles and some extra help, they figured out teamwork and got it across the field. Way to go, guys!

Mmmmm lunch!

The weather was gorgeous for being outside, despite the bird-sized mosquitos we fought off!

Abbie and her lil man...

LOL I had to include this one, I think its a cute pic!

Hi B! He looks a bit disgruntled...

Abbie's little princess...isn't she just BEAUTIFUL???

Off to feed the ducks...

Chunking bread...I think we accidently nailed a few of em...lol

A was feeding a lone duck...and unbeknownst to us at the time of this pic...there was something lurking on the other side of that bridge...

Hi D! (though you almost can't see him with the shadows...lol sorry...)

Beth spotted the silent guest first...

A huge water moccasin!

Yay, Animal Control is on the scene!

Ummm whatcha doin there, Beth?

That's your boy, Beth...lol (Animal Control called for back up so we waited some more)

Yay...threat neutralized...the world is a safer place for ducks and kids...lol

Off to a trail walk...can anyone guess who Beth is supposed to be??

This was a pretty pagoda!

Me and my boy...who was acting silly and either wouldn't look at the camera or was looking away...

Beth being brave...

The boys on the bridge...I did NOT venture out on it...

Beth, Abbie and me...

A no-sunglasses version...lol

Don't be fooled by the precious innocence look...shortly after this he had a major meltdown from needing a nap...sorry to rat ya out there, D...lol

We ended half our walk at the falls...

D had his huge meltdown after this so no more pics til we got back to Abbie's house. D took a 30 minute (maybe a little less) nap and woke up refreshed enough that we were good...so we hung out and played a bit before meeting Beth's SIL for dinner and then getting back on the road to head home. We made it home about 11pm and D was still awake! He's gonna be exhausted today! A few final pics from Abbie's house...

Sweet B...look at those eyes!

I have no words for this one...lol
