the pattillo's: Beavers Bend

We spent a long weekend out at Beavers Bend in Oklahoma with my family. It was fun getting out of town and enjoying the cold weather and woods. We drove up late on Thursday night and Tyler was a champ and slept the entire drive. I have noticed that when I have the sun roof open it doubles as a "noise machine" so we drove the entire way with it open :).

Once we got there we spent most of our time there in the hot tub, watching football, building with legos, and picking up sticks. It was very relaxing (other than my one minor meltdown when Tyler refused to sleep). He caught a cough the first day we got there which made sleeping a little more difficult. I think it was Sunday night when he cried for 4 hours before we just put him in the car and drove around (at 11pm) until he fell asleep. We brought him inside and he slept the rest of the night in his car seat :).

It was really fun watching Brian interact with Tanner...just a little preview of what is to come! Here are some of the pictures from our weekend in the woods.

Tanner loved the fire pit. He is very into being naked and peeing on things. He was very proud of himself for peeing "in the woods" many times on this trip.

The grandkids :)

Brian was in heaven...cold weather and his hammock.

While the boys went biking we went on a walk. Tanner thought it was fun to ride on the front of the stroller and Tyler loved kicking him.

Grant doing a little Crossfit on our hike. Tanner was very impressed!

One of my favorite parts of the hike was Tanner saying over and over "I wanna go shopping!" It was hilarious! Apparently, before we left on the hike he saw suckers at the gift shop and really wanted to go and buy one.
