RVing (She's back!)

This afternoon I got to see Darby for the first time since Wednesday morning. It was good to have her back in one piece. She seems to have had a blast. Fishing, kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, etc.

After I picked up the girls we went to dinner at "Cheeseburger in Paradise", a relatively new establishment in the OKC area. Now, it was tasty to be sure, but you'd think a place like that, which specializes in burgers, would have the best burgers ever. But they did NOT top Fuddruckers.

The girls weren't all that concerned about the food because they had balloon animals things (a sword and a hat) made by a freakish man in stilts. They were plenty pre-occupied by their latest distraction.

After dinner we went to see RV. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, though the previews I had seen made it seem humorous. I must say that I was pleasantly surprised. It was RATHER funny, and an excellent family movie overall. I expected Robin Williams might get over the top, taking over the movie, but he kept pretty well in context and actually didn't detract from the movie. All three of us walked out glad that we went to see it. So, three thumbs up from us.
