Ooooooklahoma!!!!!.....

....where the wind comes sweeping down the plain....

And, oh my! Was it ever sweeping down the plain! It was horribly windy while we were in OK. We had such a great time though that it just didn't matter.

We stopped at Turner Falls along the way....one of my favorite places in Oklahoma. Here are a few pictures.



You can just barely see the Castle hidden in the trees...

On Lookout Mountain with Turner Falls behind me. Rockin' the new Coach sunglasses!

Turner Falls as seen from Lookout Mountain. That water is freezing on the hottest day of summer. Those people swimming are crazy! The wind was blowing about 30 mph...add that to frigid water temps...yep...crazy...

The Arbuckle Mountains, home to Turner Falls, among other things. Such a pretty view!

While we were in OKC, we stopped in to see more relatives that I haven't seen in MANY years. My great Aunt Fannie and great Uncle Vic. Aunt Fannie is my dad's aunt...his father's sister. I've kept in touch with them over the years but just haven't been able to see them in a long time.

Me and Aunt Fannie.

Aunt Fannie, Uncle Vic, and Will. I almost didn't get him back from Aunt Fannie! She wanted to keep him lol. Uncle Vic had to tell her twice that we had to leave....to give Will to us so we could go. :-( I felt horrible. She cried when we left. We'll have to go see them again soon.

Tired Mommy and a tired Will. This was after a long day of visiting family.

Grannie and Will. We had just gotten to Grannie's house and she stole Will from me and reluctantly gave him back at the end of the evening.

We really enjoyed our visit to OK and hope to go back this summer. I'm thinking that we'll go to Turner Falls for a couple of days then on to OKC to visit the family again! The trip there went well..but the trip home was long. We got stuck in road construction and behind some sort of biker's convention. No offense to those whom partake...but do you really need to take up every available lane!?

So another exciting yet exhausting weekend is over with...now on to another busy week. Seeing more family this weekend and hopefully going to Canton so we can pick up some items to use on the birdhouses we are making. :-) We'll see if the weather holds.
