Tulsa, Oklahoma
Weather: High 77, Low 63 and Partly Cloudy
Today we had planned on leaving sometime in the morning, and
then we thought we might leave late tonight, however we were having such a good
time visiting with our old friends that we decided to stay another night and
just leave super early tomorrow morning!
We slept in this morning, and spent the morning resting and
catching up on some RV chores. Dennis used the new bug remover he got at
Camping World to clean all of the caked on, baked on, bugs off the front of the
RV. Plus, he washed the RV and the Subaru completely-which were completely
covered with dust from the desert! I got all of our pictures finally uploaded
and the blog completely updated from being backlogged an entire week. What a
difference a real internet connection makes! The kids just kind of chilled
out-reading, playing and watching movies.
Eric and I drove over to the grocery store to restock and to
get some food to cookout for lunch here. When Russ, his girlfriend, Becky, and
daughter, Elizabeth got home from church, we grilled some burgers and hot dogs
and had lunch all together. Chris and family stopped by on their way home from
church to see the RV and say one last goodbye. The kids played together for a
little bit, they took a tour of the RV, and then they were off.
For the rest of the afternoon, we just hung out with Russ
and Becky. Bay and Elizabeth got out Russ’s old GI Joe toys and played with
those, while Eric and Leah played Wii together. Around dinnertime we decided to
head out and get some custard at Custard King, and go over to a park along the
Arkansas River until sundown. Dennis was surprised to find that they had an
18-hole disc golf course at the park, so he, Russ, and Eric played while Becky
and I watched the younger kids at the playground. It was a relaxing evening,
and when we were all done, we headed back to Russ’ house. The kids played some
more while we grown-ups played a game of Pass the Pigs. Then it was time for
bed for the kids, so we are packed up and ready to go first thing in the
morning! It has been so nice to spend some time out here with Russ and the Chow
family and we are so glad that we had the extra time to be with them.
Eric fixed the pedal straps on the bikes this morning
Look! No bugs caked onto the front of the RV! This is the cleanest its been the whole trip! We had so many bugs from when we started on the east coast, and haven't been able to wash it since going west because of the drought conditions. Of course, out west, there are no bugs. Now that we are heading back east, finally got the bugs off, but I'm sure it will be plastered again after another night driving-oh well!
Hanging out at Russ' this afternoon
Bay and Elizabeth trying to avoid the water fountains that jetted up randomly-yes, they did indeed end up getting a little wet!
Leah didn't take any chances with the water, she just ran around
The big boys had a very nice time playing frisbee golf
Russ even learned how to throw a disc pretty well!
Leah on the counterbalance saucer-it was pretty fun-we all tried it out
