OK Trip Highlights 3

Bobbins and Kate also got their kicks riding ATVs.  Bobbins claims she didn't wreck into this blue hydrant (the only one for 10 miles....).

                




Aunt Katie was a God-send on the plane ride home.

Because she had to run to work, we took Katie's luggage home with us, which necessitated some creativity on our part collecting it all
                   

OK Trip Highlights 2

Friday we visited a local farm, which does Christian-themed pumpkins and hay rides.

OK Trip Highlights 1

Last week we visited family near Tulsa, OK.  The flight out on Southwest went pretty well.

              
MM got right to playing with her cousins when we arrived.

                       
Aunt Mel had us over for dinner, her delicious tacos, that first night.  She had gotten rid of her high chair so we had to get creative with MM's seating.  Us adults ate on my grandmother's beautifully restored dining table and chairs.

                                




Thurs. morning the girls all packed up for the zoo, while Aunt Mel and I played golf.
              

                        

That night we made smores at Mavis and Clint's new fire pit.

San Diego: Hotel Bed

MM took a real liking to our hotel room.

                           

                                     

                     


Late Sunday night we had some fun with her on the bed...

San Diego: USS Midway

On our way out of town Monday, Bobbins talked me into stopping at the USS Midway on the harbor in downtown San Diego.  The old aircraft carrier has been turned into a neat museum.  The girls were too young to appreciate it, but Bobbins and I had a blast.  We saw almost the whole ship, except for the bridge, because the girls weren't allowed.  I snapped the first photo of S while waiting to get in line.  That's three current US carriers in the background.

San Diego: Sunday Dinner

Mike and Nadia had us and Mr. & Mrs. M over for dinner Sunday afternoon.  The kids got to run around and us adults analyzed the previous day's events.  We ate the leftovers (of which there were plenty) from the Buca rehearsal dinner Fri. night.  Nadia also prepared some great bruschetta.  That's Bobbins and her two nieces Abby and Anna in the first photo.

             
          These two got along for the most part...
