Oklahoma City

About a month ago we traveled to Oklahoma City to see our very good friends Luke and Stephanie and their children. Dan, Rita and their boys went too. We had the best weekend together touring the city and just visiting with them. I love this pic of the 3 of us girls!!

My 2 boys!!! Love them!

We took a boat ride through part of Brick Town in Oklahoma City. It reminded us a lot of San Antonio at the Riverwalk. This was bronze statues along the river that was sooo neat.

The lawn adjacent to the federal building bombing in Oklahoma City. Each of the markers on the lawn represents an individual that lost their life that horrific day.


Part of the original building that is left standing at the bombing site.

While we were in Oklahoma City we went to the Oklahoma City Memorial where the bombing of the federal building happened. It was a very moving experience and something I would definitely recommend going to if you are ever in the area. The above picture is the water area that represents where the building actually was at.

These are the 2 ends of where the building was at that shows 9:01 and 9:03 on each end. 9:02 is the exact time the bomb went off that forever changed lives. Very touching memorial representing the actual time.



Walking into the Memorial and outside fence with flowers and items people have placed in remembrance of those lost that day.



The above picture is sweet kyle sucking on those fingers! This is how we see him often-- it is sooo cute!
One evening after a busy day together Jack fell asleep in their recliner with Conner and Kiley watching Toy Story 3. Sweet moment!

Baby Max! He looks just like his daddy! Max was born in January and this was our first time to see him. He is adorable and he is the best baby! I don't think he ever cried the whole weekend we were there!

And here they are watching another movie, not sure what! I promise we did more than let them sit in front of the TV while we were there! We had such a great visit but miss our friends terribly when we are not together! Hopefully a couple of visits are planned together this summer with all of us!
