Cassie at Thunderbird

Cassie's mentor Debbie went down to see Cass at TYA Friday morning (27th). These are the pics she sent us this morning. Cassie seems to be doing very well judging by her letters. She recently made Platoon leader. She has four sqaud leaders beneath her and each of those girls have seven or eight girls beneath them. We pick Cassie up next Friday for a long 5 day weekend. We have a party planned for Saturday night and requests of Carnitas and salsa have been made. So Fiesta it is! Next BLOG will be of the party!

Trying to be cute!.....trying.

Dave at Hooters

During the Valenzuela visit, we also stopped at Brick Town in Oklahoma City. Now, in Bricktown, there's a little chicken wing place....small....Dave just absolutely loves their Wings!
I mean he wont let us go to OKC without eating lunch there! Weird huh...

Dave ordered six wings...but only got Breasts!

BIG ONES!

Valenzuelas in Ponca

What a great time we had with our best friends Mark, Vickie, Haley and Ryan aka "The Monkey". We were very fortunate that due to the cancelation of our Las Vegas trip, Mark and Family decided to head on out to Ponca and take a vacation with us. We picked them in Denver headed back to Ponca and five days later dropped them back off in Denver. We visited the OKC Bombing Memorial, an Indian and a fossil/old guy/ rattlesnake picture/ stuffed animal museum and we even saw the worlds largest Prairie Dog (all 10,000lbs of it) somewhere not too far from the worlds biggest hand dug well! Gotta love Kansas.

Here were are enjoying the pool! Our friend Debbie Myer decided to join in!

Here's a self portrait on the way back to the airport in Denver. If I'm not mistaken this should by in Kansas...on I-70 at about 75 miles per hour.

Now I know what your thinking...Little Ryan is afraid of that giant Buffalo behind him right?

Nope...He's more concerned about the blonde MOOSE!

Hopefully I wont be prosocuted for this next picture....Haley really needs to stick with the Skorts!

Well, there it is. We're sorry it took so long. Please keep in mind that Cassie is in Military school and was unable to be with us during this vacation. We all missed her very much!
