O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A!

Took a little trip with the kids to visit some friends of ours that live overseas most of the time. They are back in the States for a few months, so we went down for a quick, one-day visit to Stillwater, Oklahoma. (Wow, a lot of orange down there.)

Our friends, Jeremy and Kathy, have 3 boys and a girl (we hope) on the way next month. They were gracious enough to let us crash with them overnight, and the kids had a great time playing. Both of the big boys bonded over their love for Jump Start World, an online learning game. Kate held her own as the only girl. They played in a sprinkler outside, and we all went to Eskimo Joe's (where else?) for dinner. Sam declared it his best burger ever. We left early the next morning for our trip back to KC, but it was well worth the 10 or so hours on the road for the kids to get to meet for the first time. Sam and J are already planning to email about game strategy in the future. Watch for their JSW for Kindergarteners blog (excuse me, first graders) to come out any day now.

I only took two pictures (bad mom!). Yes, they are still and in the same place, but no, they aren't paying any attention to me at all. Here they are watching Veggie Tales (and hopefully winding down for bed).
