Today would go on to be more challenging than I ever could have imagined. We had trouble finding the splash pad park in Pryor, OK this morning. We went in circles before we finally found it just south of OK HWY 20. Once we got there, Ben didn't want to splash around. I think I wanted it more than Ben did. Usually Ben has more fun with kiddy things than I do. Sometimes I'm wrong on that. Ben found something he wanted to do, and that was to ride on the baby swings.
Ben and Blake had a blast swing up and down on those swings. As soon as Ben saw them, he wanted on one. Ben was totally focused on where he wanted to be and what he wanted to do. He wanted to go on the swing. Nothing, not even me, was going to stop him from doing that. As we were on the swings, I saw two doggies running around the park. I didn't want to get Ben near them because they looked sick and they were strays. We saw local animal control pick them up and haul them into the animal transport vehicle.
After we got done playing in the park and splashing in the splash pad, we went out to lunch in Pryor. The Mid-American Grill was our place to be. Poor Blake: He vomited twice and that ended our lunch over there. We all felt bad about the mess we made and the vomit we left behind. It was time for all of us to go crash for the afternoon. You can barely see our boys sleeping below.
We had ample time to recover when we went out to eat for dinner. We had our first and only meal at Mazzio's pizza. I wanted to try their nachos, but we ran out of time to do that. Ben had his first taste of Dr. Pepper and he had a bunch of lemonade. We enjoyed our pizza, and we even got some french fries too. We gave my mom some leftovers of pizza from our meal.
Ben and Blake chowed down and had a great time. I love these guys and I love feeding them so many goodies. It is one of my favorite jobs.
After dinner, my sister Gena and her husband Jock came over to our room and visited all of us. Ben turned the lights on and off. We enjoyed each other's company and I was said to see them go. It will be a while before we all see each other again. Our journey towards home begins anew on Friday.
