Vacation - Day 3




We started out the day on Wednesday by going to the neighborhood park. The boys got to swing together. Don't they look so cute together? Even the big girls got in on the swinging action. Then it was a walk through the neighborhood and back to Natashas for naps for the little guys.




While they napped, the big girls got to play dress up and try on Natasha's wedding dress. I can tell you that I am definitely not ready for that day to come yet.

After naps we headed over to the Dillon office to meet Jynger, Mary Anne and some of the others who were instrumental in helping us to bring home Levi. It was a very special time as we got to tour the office and put faces with names.








We intended to eat at a local Vietnamese restaurant that had catered food for the Vietnam weekend, but they were closed and we ended up eating at Taco Bueno. It was good as well but I was certainly looking forward to some Vietnamese food.

When we got back to the house it ewas time for the boys and Avi Joy to lay down for another nap. Then, we headed into Tulsa and did a little shopping before going to Maggies, a family run Italian restaurant. It was excellent!!! All in all it was a fun-filled day filled with great food and great fellowship.
