Trip to Oklahoma Oct 8-15

The kids had 4 days off of school during the week of Oct 8-15, so I got brave and decided to fly to Oklahoma with the kids and visit my parents.

Flying with the kids by myself actually wasn’t too bad.  It could have been bad.  easily.  But I was blessed, and they were very well behaved.

It also helped that I had every form of technology to entertain them with.

2 Nintendo DS, portable DVD player, MP3 players

don’t judge.  You do what you gotta do :)

Because there were 4 ticketed passengers and only 3 seats in a row, Josh had to sit across the aisle.

He was kinda nervous, but I think it helped him to behave.

We made it to Oklahoma late Friday night.  Uncle Ben and Aunt Michelle and cousin Ben came over from Norman to spend the weekend with us.

So all day Saturday we played with them.

We also played outside and at the park. 

The weather was much warmer there than in Oregon, so we took advantage of that!

 

Monday we went shopping and to the park (no pics).

Tuesday we took the kids to the Independence KS zoo and then to Copan Lake.

The kids LOVED the lake and were really sad we didn’t bring their swimming suits.

I thought it was a little cold to swim.  They didn’t, of course.

Wednesday we went to Braum’s for ice cream and then to the pumpkin patch.

 

Thursday we went to Osage Hills State Park for a campfire.

We made tin foil dinners and smores.

Yum!

It was the perfect end to a great trip!

    

The airplane ride home took longer.  We went through Phoenix, so the plane rides took longer and our layover was longer.  The kids were still pretty good though.

We were SOOOOO glad to get to the airport and see our daddy!!  We sure missed him.

Thanks grandma and grandpa for a great trip!
