Reid's Reminiscence: Oklahoma Vacation

Wow have the last few weeks been Crazy! A couple of weeks ago Brandon and I made a trip out to Oklahoma to visit his parents/sisters and to give me a chance to see his hometown. (Yes, it did take me almost an entire year of marriage to finally see where my husband grew up, shame on me... moving on....) I will admit right now that I wasn't sure what to expect. Growing up in California and having the beach and Disneyland so close you kind of get the opinion that nothing, and I mean NOTHING will even remotely compare (yes we Californians do have snobbish of opinions about ourselves ;). Anyway I couldn't have been more wrong, it was soo beautiful out there. It was so green and had so many trees!! If it weren't for the humidity that plagued us the entire trip I wouldn't mind living out there.

We also went with his parents, his sister Jamie and her two kids (who were also visiting for a few days from Colorado), and his sister Sharon and her husband Craig with their two kids to one of the area's main attractions Woolaroc. Woolaroc is museum and wildlife preserve and was so beautiful. We happened to come on a day where they were having KidsFest and so there were plenty of things for us to do. They had a petting zoo, inflatable slides, and games. It was fun to just sit back and watch the kids have fun. That being said we were all happy to head home after a couple of hours (100 degree weather plus humidity will do that to you.)

We really did have a fun week with Brandon's family and it was a great time for me to get to know them a little bit better. I made Brandon take me to all of the places he frequented growing up such as his elementary school, high school, where he worked etc. it was fun.
