Trip to Oklahoma City

For Labor Day weekened we decided to check out Oklahoma City. It is only a few hours north of Dallas and it is a really pretty drive.

This is the Memorial that now stands where the Federal Building used to be before it was bombed in 1995.

This is also at the Federal Building Memorial. The chairs in the background represent every person that got killed that day. There are smaller ones for the children that died.



In the downtown area there was a riverwalk that you could tour downtown in a boat. It was really great, just really squishy. Plus, I had to nurse Peyton right in the middle of it and the little girl next to me kept screaming, "Mommy, what is the baby doing?" It was hilarious.


The hotel was almost the best part of the trip. There was a Sooner's game and a huge rodeo in town so we drove to four different hotels before we finally gave up and spent $300 on this fantastic 2 bedroom suite at the Marriot. It really was sweeeet. The boys had a blast. We all had our own beds. It was great.




Who knows?

Here's more pictures of the Memorial. I love how it was designed. It was so peaceful and yet very touching.


This is called the Survivor Tree because it survived the blast that occured right next to it.





Here is just some more pictures of MY BOYS. I love them so much!

That would be Desitin all over Hayden's face! I walked in and all he said was, "Mom, this is for my bum!" It was great.
Here's my happy little baby. He is such a happy little fart. He has started giggling and it is the cutest thing ever. I love it!
