To Okla. for My Cousin's Wedding

My dad was supposed to rent a van and drive out to Oklahoma for my cousin Becky's wedding. A few weeks before the big event he had to have a knee surgery, and he could not sit in a vehicle stationary for that long. I kept the minivan rental and did all the driving myself, with the four older kids. Bobbins and Edward flew ahead of us so Bobbins could go to the bridal shower and hang out with the Okies. (She also stayed a day later than us.) This pic is at the old courthouse in Holbrook, where we stopped for a pee and stretch break. We had stopped briefly in Payson for an ATM break that became a pee break. It was the only time one of the girls tried to use the training potty I brought along for emergencies. JoJo didn't like it, of course. The boys used Gatorade bottles like me.

The first night we bedded down in Oklahoma and got a to-go meal, inc. a beer for me, from this joint, right next to our hotel. We had to get back to the room so MM could do her tutoring with Ms. Estes.
