Our Recent Trip to Oklahoma City!!!

Greg recently had to participate in a training class in beautiful Oklahoma City!! We decided to make the most of him being closer and squeeze a mini family vacation out of it!!! We had a good time. Even with Greg in class the kids and I found plenty to do down there.

We visited the Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. They had a beautiful (expensive) art exhibit in town just in time for 5 kids with one parent to visit!! It was beautiful for the kids to see and a very stressful time for me!! All the zeros after the prices may have been to blame for that. Here the boys are enjoying riding some barrels. Tim isn't too sure about being that close to the Longhorn steer!!

We drove about 40 minutes south of Oklahoma City to check out the Children's Museum. It was well worth the drive. The kids were able to unearth some dinosaur bones!! They had a fire station, a huge maze outside, a train ride, the bubble factory, and those are just some of the favorites.

One of the evenings after Greg's class we picked him up and went downtown. We enjoyed dinner at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill. That was some fun atmosphere. Then we went on the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial Site. That was something else. It was great for the kids to see that. Taylor has just been learning about that stuff at school and for her to go there and put it in perspective was really neat. This is just one of the beautiful parts of the memorial.


This is part of the children's memorial. These tiles were made by children around the country in support of the children that had to endure that horrible event and lost loved ones there.
