Birthday Boy #10

Brock is happy to be with his Vaughn family at his suprise birthday lunch at Joe's Crab shack.

Little sis is an Angel...

Brock turns the Big 10

Grandad Vaughn and Grandmother Shirley along with Great Grandmother Vaughn and Aunt Susan came up for Brock's 10th Birthday. We all went to Joe's Crab shack for some seafood and came back home to celebrate with presents, cake and singing.

Note the Vaughn family will not be welcome on American Idol based on this display of awful singing in video below:

Soda Science

We tried out placing mentos candies into a 2 liter coke. When mixed with carbonated soda the ingredients of the mentos candies react with the carbonation and shoots out of the bottle about 5 to 7 feet high.

Brock Busted a Gut

Brock sees Somali Wild Ass

Brock laughed so hard he busted his gut.

Legionaires disease vs Heat Exaustion

Okay, so when it is 100 degrees in OK would you rather catch Legionnaires disease from old rotted dirty water in the zoo pipes that mists out of the yellow pole above or would you rather take your chance of passing out from heat exhaustion and hitting your head on the cement?

Ready to run

Here is Ms Daisy May ready to go on her morning jog.

Flag football

Brock played quarterback and Linebacker on his 4th/5th grade team at Tinker.

Here the team gathers at halftime for a pep talk

Man hole cover

Hey Grandma Cone, here's another new manhole cover we found at the begining of the native Oklahoma animals zoo trail.

Trampoline Jumper

Tiny the farm cat

Grace fell in love with Aunt Sandy's farm kittens and so did Daisy May

This is Tiny the kitten.

She wanted to taste the farm kitty.

Weed and wave barking

Here she is on the point. We tied her up or she would run away to the road. When she was not pulling up long grass in the water she was barking very loudly. See video for hound doggy water barking

Synchronized swimming

Brock and Grace are in training for the 2016 summer Olympics location to be named later. Their current training site is at Grandpa's log cabin in Zwolle Louisiana. The regimen is very intense. It involves sleeping in late, eating a good breakfast from Grandma Cone and then jumping into the cool lake water and swimming until you are pruney from head to toe. Mirrored moves are critical in this sport and one slight error can be the difference between international gold or washed out Louisiana lake losers. Pictured above Brock's right arm was supposed to be at a 90 degree angle with his hand at ear level and Grace was starting to get a cramp in her hammy. See video below for sample training regimen.

Barky rider

Daisy barked and barked and barked and barked...

then she barked some more...see video and turn up speakers as loud as they can go for realistic ear piercing hound dog sound

Capt B & his first mate

Brock helps his little sis with her life jacket.

He took the stick and toured around the cove.

Boating with Ms Daisy

We took Daisy out for her first boat ride. She was very weary of the water and barked a lot at the waves.

Brock comforts the hound.

She ran to the front of the boat when we came up on a pelican on a stump. Thankfully she is scared of the water so she did not jump in.
