After a short drive from Elk City, we're here in Oklahoma City with my parents, and it's a nice place, beautiful home, and of course, Grandma is cooking up a storm of awesome food!

The main thing we wanted to see in OKC was the OKC Bombing Memorial. We spent more than 3 hours there, and the museum was incredible. I highly recommend it for a visit if you get to the heartland. The bombing was the 2nd largest terrorist attack on American soil (1st until 9/11), and showed both tragedy and triumph of the human spirit. I believe it changed OKC forever and also showed just how great and compassionate okies can be. Unfortunately, we weren't allowed to take any pictures of the museum inside, but we did take some outside as you can see in the album. You can visit the website here.

We had a wonderful visit with my folks, and other than Peanut peeing all over Deanna, I think they enjoyed having us. ;-> She just learned not to pick him up after you lock him in the crate, guess I forgot to mention that. The girls did knitting, played in the hot tub, watched Disney Channel, and enjoyed sleeping inside for a few nights. Of course, as I mentioned before, we were well fed, and enjoyed both home cooking and eating about town.

We also made the trip up to Stillwater to grab a bite at Eskimo Joes. The food is pretty good, but really, it's not about the food anyway. We spent lunch visiting with Beth, our niece, which was nice, and then picked up a few souvenirs in the give shop.

Faith decided she wanted to see the houses I had lived in, so we drove around the town looking at them. Not too exciting there, but it was fun seeing how Stillwater has changed.

Friday afternoon we met Matt and Julie Hollrah and kids (Sadie and Simon) at the bookstore for a visit, then headed over to PF Changs for dinner. My brother Dan and nephew Kyle came, as well as Dan's GF too. We had a nice dinner and then visited afterward.

We really had a good time in OKC, and were glad to be able to visit so many family and friends.

Today we went to the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. It was really sad. It was the biggest/most amount of deaths since 9-11. Today 9-11 is the most people who died from an attack. The bombing was really big.

We stayed with our grandparents. They are nice. We got to go to the O.K.C. Bombing Memorial. It was really sad. I liked going to Eskimo Joes. They have really good cheese fries.
