We traveled to the Pikes Peak region in Colorado for a brief respite from the heat. Matt, a friend of both Paul & Kiah came along and a good time was had by all.

FLA

We arrived in Orlando this afternoon and had lots of fun already. Jim picked us up from the airport and we stopped at Lone Cabbage Fishcamp for a late lunch of deep fried gator, shrimp, chicken and fries. Then, out on the dock, got a glimps of cousin gator before we headed east to the house. Evening found us checking out the surf and shells at the nearest beach and the girls manged to get in the pool a couple of times already. Don't worry, we are taking lots of Pictures!

Summer Time


Baseball teams at the WOR got very sweaty but that's the way it is in the summertime. Alex visited in anticipation of hay hauling but weather and grass conspired and hay is postponed until next week.
The girls and I head to FLA tomorrow morning to visit Trisha and the rest of the Ray-side FLA gang. I hear sand and surf calling our names.

Fabulous 4th

Family gathered in Nowata to burn money....... oh, I mean set off fireworks... hehe... The world did not end when John didn't buy fire works and I did. Who knew?

Food - Rylko's brought several coleslaws, wild O's brought BBQ and tabouli, Melinda brought fried chicken, Brenda brought cupcakes, Jack made cuc salad, Steff brought pie, and Granddad made stuffed peppers and corn-on-the-cob and chips and fruit were plentiful. Yum-O.
After a rainy start to Sat, it was pretty warm most of the afternoon but fireworks were deployed before the weather could stop it.

The croquet course was hilly with some ruff around the pond.
The horse shoe pit was open for buisness but the real action was on the northern frontier where Rylko boys and Orban girls held the tank war battles. More details regarding these actions are classified.
Who is that behind those foster grants?
Summer is here but the cool front that came through reminds us that fall is coming.
