Labor Day in OKC

We had a nice visit with Matt's family in OKC this past Labor Day weekend. It started with David getting his cast off on Friday morning - which was more exciting for us than David. After a few weeks in the cast, he was scared about having it removed. In addition, his arm was sore and stiff, so it took some time getting adjusted to using it again. Of course, being young and active like David, it didn't take too long. He seems to be back to his normal two-arm self now.

We headed up to OKC early on Friday and got to visit with MiMar and Granddad. Then had dinner with the whole family. On Saturday, we went to the science museum and then spent some time with the Winkler family.  Matt, me and the kids took Hannah to see the memorial on Sunday morning, which is quite moving, and then Matt's family had a big cookout in the afternoon. It was a great visit. We were especially excited to see Matt's parents new house, which is very nice and cozy. Even better, Luke and Cole graciously hosted Hannah so everyone had a nice place to sleep.  We headed back early Monday and made some fun stops on the way home - first at the Arbuckle Wildness Safari (which is AWESOME) and then at Winstar for lunch (because Hannah had never seen a casino). The boys just went to the restaurant for lunch while Hannah and I snuck into the casino for a few minutes so that she could play a slot machine. We quickly lost $20 and left!!

And now the kids are back in school and we are patiently awaiting the fall weather...
