Weekend Vacation

Last weekend we took a mini vacation and went to Oklahoma City. We stayed with our friend Matt on Thursday night and then in a hotel Friday and Saturday night which the kids thought was amazing. The best part about the trip was Richard's parents, Gramma and Gran Gran, drove down to meet us there from Kansas and stayed in the hotel right across the hall! Thursday night Richard and the kids hung out with Matt while I went and held a jewelry show. When we got up on Friday we took the kids to the zoo.


I love this picture of Michal Kate walking with her daddy!
I like this one just as much of Noah with Gran Gran.

After checking into the hotel Friday afternoon we all loaded up and went to a nearby town to a "Pumpkin Patch". I say it that way because it was more of a petting zoo and hay bales than a patch, but the kids loved it just the same.
Here is a picture of Jack looking at the Llama that he wanted to touch so bad but the llama looked like he wanted to eat Jack for lunch so we didn't get to close. Notice the look on Jack's face it was so funny.

You are now seeing the amount of pumpkins they had, but at least I got a couple of cute pictures.




After playing with the animals, and getting to ride their first pony we played in the hay.There was a beautiful old tree that had fallen that made for a cute picture spot.

I think this is the only picture Gramma got in all weekend, not sure what happened there.
Friday night we met Matt and Tracy for dinner at Ted's our favorite mexican food spot and it was sooooo good. Then on Saturday we took the kids swimming in the indoor pool which was so incredibly cold, I could hardly believe it was indoors. Saturday afternoon Richard got the opportunity to go to the Oklahoma vs. Kansas game with Matt and his dad Royce. He had fun and after the weekend before at the Cotton Bowl it was good for him to get to go to a winning game. While he was at the game I had another jewelry show so Gramma and Gran Gran took the kids to McDonald's and back to the hotel for nap time. After the game...very late we went to Olive Garden which ended up being a 2 1/2 hour meal and free after that amount of time! But the time together was fun. Beyond Noah and I getting the cold junk while on the trip it was good and refreshing for all of us to just be together! Sunday we went to church and then to Chili's for lunch. Our kids now think that OKC is a true vacation spot! I guess what they don't know won't hurt them!
