OOOOOOOOOOK-lahoma!

Days Spent in Oklahoma: 12
Miles Traveled: 1,233
Hours in the car: 21
Number of times "tuh!" (truck) was shouted in our car: 572
I am sitting here trying to figure out how to summarize our trip without posting every picture (200+ total) I took and using every kilo-milo-mega-watt-byte (whatever) that Blogger allows. We had such a good trip. Here are a ridiculous number of pictures to try to sum it up.

Memaw and pappaw bought Noah a swing. He enjoyed it so much. He would grab our hand and say "high" meaning he wanted to go outside and swing high.
I've mentioned before how much he loves pushing things. My dad got my old Cabbage Patch stroller out of the attic and Noah LOVED it. I think we figured the stroller is about 23 years old!
Belly flop! He couldn't wait to get in the pool and landed in it belly first with his church clothes still on!
It was so great to see my family! Thank you all for driving down to see us! My grandma, aunts, uncles, cousins and their kids came over on Sunday afternoon. The boys had fun in the pool. They all had Lightening McQueen bathing suits on! It was so cute.
Even the "big boys" had fun playing outside.
We went to this HUGE park in Owasso. It had the coolest stuff! Brandon and I had just as much fun as Noah did. Here he is enjoying some more swinging.
Baby astronaut.
Pappaw and Brandon. "Tee-tah, tee-tah"
Uncle Ryan and Aunt Lindsey got to come over one evening. We had a delicious dinner and celebrated Lindsey and Brandon's birthdays. Noah was our entertainment. Here he decided he'd rather swim in the little "wash your feet off" tub rather than his pool.
Happy birthday! Blowing out the candles:
Me and my bubby:
Noah enjoyed watering the flowers (and his clothes and shoes) with memaw.

My little family...Off to Frederick.
Nana, Daddy, and Noah swinging at the Frederick park.
Daddy and Noah on top of Mt. Scott.
Looking at the prairie dogs in the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. Noah wanted to chase them and touch one. :) We also saw Buffalo and Longhorn cattle.
Brandon insisted that if we were going to the Wichita Mountains, we HAD to eat at Meers (home of the famous Meersburger). Noah had a Meers hot dog instead.
Brandon and I enjoyed this DELICIOUS peach cobbler with homemade ice cream, and no, we couldn't even finish it! But it was SOOOOOOO good!
Of course, while we were in Frederick, we had to get some of pawpaw's yummy donuts!
We took Noah to Box's because we knew he'd like to look at the E-I's (tractors). He was in hog heaven! We bought him a little John Deere.
More water fun! Anytime the hose or sprinkler was on, Noah was in it. That was the best place to be, it was so hot!
Brandon's dad (pawpawpaw?) came over for the day. Here are three generations of Risinger boys.
The Billys came over on Monday and boy, did Camden entertain Noah. Look at them cracking up! Noah would NOT go down for his nap, he was having too much fun. He lasted ALL day!
McKenzie, Camden and Noah.Pawpaw, Noah, and Nana.On the road again! Noah was such a trooper and made the trip like a champ. He was such a good boy!
