(Work prevented Dad from coming. we missed him greatly.)
Background: My camera is broken, the LCD screen is cracked. All you see is a lovely oil slick-type rainbow. So all our pictures are shots in the dark. It's worse than film days, because I don't even have a viewfinder. Just a wild point-and-shoot guess!
The Miracle: We're ecstatic to find that we have a few pictures from our trip. Who would have thunk it? (I am of the opinion that there are no small miracles, so I'm grateful!)
This trip was to our oft-neglected family in Oklahoma City. We have a large -not polygamist Utah large- but larger than average extended family. 75% (60%?) of which live in or just around the OKC. It's fun when we get together. The best phrase of the week was actually from Big Red. After three nights in a row of dinner with a large gathering of relatives, (different location, and different relatives each night), she gently but firmly pulled me aside and says "I need to know who is here, and how they are related to me. Very fair and valid question I thought. -It was very fun. I'm so glad we got to see lots of you, and sorry for those we missed. Thanks to all those who took time out of their non-spring break week to visit with us.-
In addition to the family, while we were there, we took in the Oklahoma City Temple grounds,
The Zoo!
"good monkey"The Science Center,
After a "tornado" in a wind tube
And the Western Heritage (Cowboy) Museum!
Ready for a cattle drive?
Little Bukaroos
So just for fun, there are two movie references in this post. See if you can guess.
