Edmond, OK Day 2

Praise God! Baby has not broken anything yet! That's not to say he hasn't caused his fair share of trouble (and perhaps used other people's share).

Yesterday morning we were greeted with Grandma making Scooby Doo waffles. Bo Hunkmeister and Grandpa then took the RV to the service place to get various and sundry things fixed. Of course, the RV place called today to say that the refrigerator worked just fine for them.

After lunch, Baby and Tater took a nap, the older kids went with Dad and Grandpa to the Cowboy Hall of Fame, and mom and grandma took a well deserved break from trying to keep Baby from killing himself.

Grandma's daughter and her family brought some over barbeque for dinner. You know you're in Oklahoma when even the pizza joint has fried okra on the menu. So dinner was fried okra, barbeque brisket, potato salad, and green beans cooked with fat back. Life was good.

Then came the swimming. This is where Baby showed us he has no fears. None. Zip. Nada. He would run around the edge of the pool throwing things in and fishing things out and then splash! In went Baby. Thankfully, Bo Hunkmeister was right by him and fished him out. After about two nano seconds of fussing, Baby was back at it. Have I ever told you my concerns about Baby being fearless? Anyway, about 15 minutes later, Baby went in for another dip. Luckily, J (Grandma's grandson) was in the water and got Baby out. J is in the Boy Scouts and I would be more than happy to write up a merit badge recommendation for him.

At this point, having had enough heart attacks, Grandpa grabbed his keys and his trusty side kick, Princess Git Er Done and headed for Wally World to get a life preserver. I took Baby inside and chained him put him to bed. Surprisingly, the evening became quite pleasant after that. Well, except for the tornado watch. After some discussion about how much danger we where really in, we went to bed. And slept through the next alarm. Thankfully, that too was just a watch and not an actual "time to kiss the tuckus good-by" warning.

Yes sir, not a dull moment here in OKC!
