Summer Road Trip Week 3

The third week of our road trip was spent visiting Angela's side of the family in Norman and Oklahoma City.  Kaye K and Big Daddy returned to their roots and moved back to Oklahoma this past year, along with Angela's brother and his family, and Nana.  So much fun to be had with so many people to visit!  Ryan had to fly home after a couple days (someone has to work!), but the rest of us stayed for a great week.

We took the kids around the OU campus on electric scooters - a fun way to see my parents' alma mater

Fun times with the cousins!  We took advantage of the morning $1 movie

Special treats with Kaye K

We spent an evening at a neighborhood pool with fun slides and a lazy river

Nana treated everyone to our favorite Oklahoma ice cream: Braums!

Even on vacation, I find surprise photos on my phone:

Family time under my parents' new deck patio - delicious homemade ice cream and a rousing game of Family

Big Daddy took the kids fishing at Uncle Bob's pond - Rooke caught the biggest fish!

We spent a day in Oklahoma City, starting with a visit to the OKC Bombing Memorial.  

The Cowboy Hall of Fame was beautiful and impressive

Fourth of July celebrations!  

Dear family friends joined us for a patriotic OKC Philharmonic outdoor performance

The redheads made a patriotic jello cake for our picnic

I want to be as cool as she is some day

The fireworks were great!! 

Everyone should have a Big Daddy

One last meal together: delicious breakfast at Cattleman's

We loaded up and left early for two long days of driving.  My dad drove every. single. minute.  The entire way home!  It was a gift beyond measure.

We love you, Big Daddy & Kaye K!  Thanks for making the last days of our road trip special!
