Again. Super sad I have no pics of this trip. Send me some if you took any?? Our first week in OK we spent with my side of the family. We went straight to Oklahoma city to see sister Lauren and baby ben (brad was in seminole). Ben had gotten so big even since June! we went to dinner with Schwennie and his girlfriend Brittany, Lauren and Eric, and Lauren and Ben. We were out so late for ben and he just crashed while sitting on my lap...so cute!!

We hung out in the city for a couple of days. Gram came over and caught us up on her Sweden trip (she went to learn all about our family). We hung out with Meredith and John P. (jess friend from college), and then we were off to Seminole.

While in Seminole we celebrated daddy's birthday and decorated the whole kitchen with streamers and ballons and had a steak dinner. We went to see the Dark Knight. we played with ben in the kiddie pool. We saw lots of seminole friends and had a baller night at the Steel Horse Saloon. Watched shark week. One night jess and I met candy and shane for dinner at Pete's place in Krebs and a night at the new lake house. we went late night catfish fishing with livers and stopped at the classy Coconut Shack for karoke.

Then it was off to Tulsa town. The first night in town we discovered Hashing. This is a drinking club with a running problem. Basically you run around town following a trail, singing songs, having water balloon fights, and drinking beer. The next day, we spent the whole day visiting all the grandparents. This was 3 different stops. Then it was up to Grand Lake for 4 days with the Royall's and the Mathe's (lauren and eric). It was soooo hot and we spent almost the entire trip on the pontoon boat or floating in the water. We ate like kings thanks to Janet and got a nice tan. We also got to celebrate Jim's birthday!!

sunday came too soon and it was time to hit the road again. Janet packed us up with some delicious egg salad sammies and we headed west.
