Weekend of November 13th thru the 15th...

Well, things have been busy, and I never had time last week to post pics of our weekend in Oklahoma. We had such a good time. I think we all miss Tulsa very much. I hope one day we make it back there!

We got to Bristow around 1pm on Friday, and unloaded and messed around. Madison was getting antsy, so we decided to take her out to the park. She had a really good time, but she was worn out by the time we left. So, much so that she was in bed by about 6pm!

Here are Grammy and Grampy helping her up the playground equipment.

Here's Grammy following her thru a tunnel!

And here she is on the slide...

And finally, here she is walking down the sidewalk picking up sticks!

On Saturday, we got up and got around early so that we could be at the Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks by 10am when it opened. I was a little unsure if she would really like it or not. But, she LOVED the aquarium. She ran and ran and ran to all the exhibits and would point out the fish! I can't wait to take her back the next time we are up there.

So, here are Daddy and Madison getting ready to go into the aquarium.

This is the exhibit where they have the beavers, the otter, and the racoons.

She really liked the racoons. I think she thought they were cats!

After the aquarium, we went to lunch and ran a few errands. Mom and Dad took our car home with Madison, and we did a few more errands. Then it was time for the pub run!

We had such a good time. I think we had even more fun than when we did it before. I think this is going to become an annual tradition now! We got to see a lot of our friends, and we miss them! And, somehow we befriended the guy handing out the Guinness, so we got a ton of free Guinness! Well, everyone else did. I don't drink Guinness!

Here's the start/finish line...

Here's Jeff running past me at the beginning of the race!

Here's Julie waving as she ran past us at the end...

My wonderful husband and me!

And somehow we befriended the bagpipe players and got pics with them!

After the race, Jeff and I went back to Julie's parents house so Jeff could shower. Then we went out to dinner, and met up with another friend, Ryan and his wife, Linda. It was really good to catch up with everyone. We finally made it back to Bristow between 9:30 and 10pm. We went to bed shortly after, but Madison decided she wanted to get up at 3am!! So, Sunday was not a great day, but I think we would all agree it was worth it.

I hope to be posting Thanksgiving pics later this week, and of course we always decorate for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving. So, I hope to have those pics up too! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
