Broken Bow Late Summer Vacay

Katie and Marshall planned a great getaway and invited us to join them in Broken Bow for a long weekend.  

Everything in Broken Bow is about Big Foot and the kids came scared -- even a few days before were refusing to come.  We were instructed no one could mention BF.

Marshall scouted out the best restaurants and diners.

and found a great petting zoo in Hoachitown

 

Marshall and Katie rented a pontoon boat and we enjoyed Big Bend Lake

I don't know who had more fun -- Pawpaw or the kids.  They were his constant buddies.  Clara made up songs about Pawpaw's boo-boo (ankle) and felt she needed to help him walk.  When he thanked her for her help -- she said -- "That's okay -- you can pay me in chocolate."

Helping Daddy drive.

 

Clara helped Terry walk up the ramp from the boat -- and Charlie was determined to help me -- singing "London Bridge is falling down all the way."  Which really didn't help my dizziness a bit.

 The kids are awesome babysitters -- Calvin is captivated by them -- giving up a grin for all their antics.

Even though the heat index was high -- Marshall was set on our having s'mores and a bonfire.
