The big PONCA post!!

Last weekend we took our annual trip up to Ponca State Park.  Where we catch up and hang out with all the Lee's.  Our group (in all) consists of 85+ people  :-)  FUN TIMES!

Here are a few pics.

What's this you ask?  This is Kenzie & Macy in the rear view mirror watching  "Baby Signing Times"! It is soo funny to hear Macy giggle, jibber-jabber and imitate  :-)

and yes...that's one super full to the top trunk in the background! 

 We just arrived and Macy is running to check out her cabin.

Whoa girlfriend...see. she's not ALWAYS happy.  That first day was really windy...

Macy's down below & Kenzie's up on the deck  :-)

Macy, doing what Macy does best...moochin' some breakfast from Grandma & Grandpa.  I have NO idea where she gets this!

Good morning sunshine!

The crowd of spectators and participants gets bigger & bigger every year...crazy!

There's the course.

A rare smiling at the camera moment...KEEPER!  :-)

Ponca Church...sitting in, what Danielle & Dalton referred to as, "Pastor's Row".

I stole this pic from Heather...it was taken on their sunrise walk.  She caught a very sweet, tender & candid moment, I HAD to share it  :-)

Lucky for you my camera battery went dead, so I was unable to capture pics of other hikes and haunted trail rides, etc...so sad.  oh well!  It happens & life goes on.

We had such a nice time in Ponca this year...it never disappoints.  Rain was in the forecast, but it was sunny skies pretty much the whole time.  AWESOME!  Thank you Jesus. :-)

Looking forward to next year already!
