Heading Home from Oklahoma

We had a great time in Oklahoma - what fun memories we have of Black Friday with Paula, Chad and Kordale, while we left all the kids home sleeping and filled our carts with terrific Christmas gifts. Driving around looking for the rock quarry was a definite adventure as well. We were sad to say goodbye, but ready to get home.

We stopped in Oklahoma City for an hour to visit the Oklahoma City Memorial, where the Federal Building was bombed in 1995. It was a solemn, sad, but sacred site with rows of chairs to memorialize those killed in the bombing and the Memorial Wall. The kids enjoyed writing their names on the chalk displays saying that they had been here. It was good to teach the kids a little about the history of this city and the realities of life.
