Oklahoma's Annual Ice Storm

That's right...the ice has returned. I never thought that we would get over the memories of ice storm 2008, but thank goodness this years did not bring too much salt in the wound. We didn't even lose power and we had Chris home for 3 days.

Clayton couldn't be happier about the situation. It was so funny, he would start running on the ice, but not going anywhere, until gravity would take over and he would fall. He looked like a cartoon character. The problem was him not keeping his gloves on. When he hit the ice, catching himself with this hands, he would just cry and cry. But, that sure didn't stop him.

After the storm came the sunshine!

Yes, the ice passed and out came the sun. So, we had to seize the day with some great friends at the OK Zoo. It was such a breath of fresh air to see the sky again! Check out Clayton's new best friend...thanks for being a trooper Tristan!
Clayton is one of those kids where people will say, "He's never met a stranger". He always walks into a room, scouts out where the action is, and goes to join it. This little girl that he is standing by was yelling at his the whole time about 'not touching her' but he thought it was great that someone was so passionate to/with him.

This last video was us being entertained during the ice shut-in. Clayton learned to say 'zoo' that day. See if you can pick it out.
