While we were waiting for the funeral, we had a few days of free time and a couple of bored kids. We found a cute area called "Bricktown". They tore out the street around these old brick buildings and put in a cool canal. We took the kids on a boat ride around the canal.
While we were walking around the canals, there was a lady that worked at one of the restaurants that gave us a huge bag of bread to feed the ducks.
We learned a lot about Oklahoma history. I had to laugh at the billboards in the background of the Oklahoma land rush sculptures. After learning about Oklahoma history, I need to rent Far and Away from Netflix!
For all of you Sonic lovers, we visited the cooperate headquarters. Their Cherry Limeaides taste the same as they do at our Sonic!
Jacob stayed home from Oklahoma with Dana. While we were gone we missed Jacob's 1st birthday. Good thing we had already had a party for him a few weeks ago! My birthday gift to you Jacob was not making you sit in a car seat while we drove across 4 states! Dana, Cheryl, Brittney, and Alex threw a little birthday party for Jakey! Thanks for the great pictures guys! We missed our little guy so much!
Dana, you have no idea how much we appreciated you babysitting for us! I know Jakey-boo had more fun at home! You are the best!
Thanks also to all of our friends and family who have offered their thoughts, prayers and condolences to us! I was overwhelmed by the number of people who offered to keep our kids while Zane and I made the trip! We love you all!

The canal looked like a fun place to be! Your kiddos are SO cute!
Too fun. Glad you had a nice trip, I'm never surprised when people wait for their loved ones to say good bye before they pass on to the next life. Welcome back!
Sounds like you made it the best possible trip! I miss Sonic drinks and their ICE! Jake's face is darling in the birthday shots, he sure is a happy guy.
Glad to hear you are back. I hope all went well. It is always difficult to lose a mother.
SO sorry to hear about Zane's mom!
I'm glad you were able to enjoy some of Oklahoma with your family.
I LOVE Far and Away. Now I have a craving to watch it!
Glad you made it back safe and sound! Sorry to hear about Zane's mother. It's nice that it all worked out and u were able to go.
Glad you're back! We missed you! sorry about Zane's mom. I'm glad you made it in time for her to see your family. Looks like a cool town.
I wish we had a Bricktown here. I bet your kids liked the boat ride. We sure had fun celebrating Jakeys birthday. He cracks us up! I LOVED that he wasn't too sure about the cupcake!
Glad you made it back safe! And...I can start working on your blog whenever! Just let me know what you want!
