Trip to Oklahoma

Last month while Jeff was working, I took the kids on a quick trip to Oklahoma.  Jeff took us on the first leg of our trip.

We were only in Oklahoma for the weekend so we had to cram in as much fun as we could.  By coincidence my brother Brandon and his wife Jenna were visiting too.  We went to Woolaroc during kids fest.

The kids enjoyed petting the animals

And they enjoyed the extra fun things there for kids fest.

And the highlight (according to Brandon) is the trash sucking buffalo.  Back in the day it would suck up soda cans and cups, but he must be getting old because he only sucks up bits of paper now.

 The kids enjoyed kiddie park and ridding rides with their cousins.

And since we were visiting during 100 degree weather we spent lots of time in the pool, which was good so Tyler could practice his swimming.  We enjoyed the pool in grandma and grandpa's back yard.

We also went to the city pool for a change of scenery.  Tyler was just big enough to go down the water slides.  The funny thing was that since he still can't swim after he comes off the slide he stands up and slowly walks over to the side of the pool on his tippy toes.

 Rachel loved Nemo

We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend trip.  The best part about saying goodbye to family was that I was able to say "See you later this week!" Because they were going to stop by our house on their way out to Utah and spend a couple days with us (more about that later).
