We decided to go to Oklahoma for Spring Break so we could see everything before we moved. We had been telling Mindy that we were moving far far away to Kansas, so she couldn't wait to go to "my Kansas" (even though we went to Oklahoma!)
Sorry, I know this picture is blurry but Monte and I laughed so hard when when we had been driving for a couple hours and look back and see our little girl reading "Western Horseman"
Brookelynn was such a good sport. She got stuck in our car all through Colorado and entertained Mindy and Makayla. She is a life saver!!
This is at Dad and Mom's land in Oklahoma. They own 160 acres and it is awesome!!
This is Monte and Preston at Dad and Mom's land. This is not an unusual site with Monte and teenagers!!We could not believe the RED dirt!! If you look you can see the creek/river in the back...look how red it is!!
On Saturday Monte and I ventured out on our own to the Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum. It was a Museum full of things we love. It was awesome!!
This is a picture of Mindy touching a plaque under the "Hall of Great Westerners"It reads "Jordan Flake Arizona 1959" He is my Great Great Great Grandfather who founded Snowflake, AR. William Jordan Flake's son is Joel White Flake, and his son is Dennis Edson Flake, and his daughter is Carol Irene Flake Waltman (my grandma), and her son is Darren Dennis Waltman (my dad).
This is Mindy inside the town jail. She was hilarious because she kept saying "Look, I'm in a horse trailer"
On the way home Makayla was screaming for over an hour when I finally got a great idea to give her some licorice. She made a HUGE mess but it kept her quiet for 30 minutes of the 26 1/2 hour drive home!!
It was a long long long drive, but we had a blast. A special thanks to Donna for letting us crash and trash her house with all the kids and for a bed to sleep in. We had a blast with the Christensens! Thank you!!
