Fantastic Weekend

What a great weekend we had over the holiday! The fun started Saturday when we went to The Lion King play at the Civic Center here in Oklahoma City. I had bought Wendy the tickets for Christmas and she was very excited to go. The show was great and the costumes were phenomenal. Some of the movements the actors do make the animals they are portraying seem very realistic. If this show comes to a venue near you I would recommend going to see it. Saturday evening we relaxed at the house with a game of Scategories.

Sunday we went to church, out to lunch at Spaghetti Warehouse and then off to the movies to see Night at the Museum 2. This was a very good show. The animation was amazing. If you haven't seen the first one, go rent it and then go to the theater to see the second. It is worth the ticket price or your money back.. not from me mind you! Sunday evening we decided to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather with a game of tennis at the park. The weather was beautiful, probably much better than our tennis.. but we all had a good time.

Monday we went to White Water Bay, the water park in OKC. We bought season passes for unlimited visits to both the water park and the amusement park. Again, the weather was great and the park wasn't too crowded, so we basically didn't have to wait in line for any of the slides. After about two hours we decided to head out. We picked up one of Zach's friends, took a quick shower and headed over to Frontier City, the amusement park to ride some rides. They have a new show, Survivor Live and I got picked to play but I did not win. The jury picked the darn little boy to win instead of me! I still had fun playing. After we had ridden all the rides we could stand we came back home, sent Nathen and Zach to the back room to play and we watched Lakeview Terrace with Samuel Jackson. Excellent movie and again, highly recommend watching it. Jackson plays a very convincing bad guy!

Monday was also Emma's birthday, so we bought her two new toys and some treats to celebrate. Here is a picture of her with her new dragon. Zach was too cute, he was very excited about her birthday and buying her presents. Hope all of you had as much fun over the weekend as we did!
