America Trip 2017: Oklahoma City Part 2

My Dad and his wife Mary were able to come visit us in Oklahoma City and my mom and Jeff were incredibly hospitable in opening up their home. The girls got to enjoy the same playgrounds and backyard pool with their Grandma and Papa!

Grandma and Madi had a car service shop where "Joe" would give full service gas, car wash, and oil change. What a bargain!

The girls had picnics outside, trees to climb, nail fun from Grandma and bubbles.

When the girls visited the zoo Madi picked a paint your own butterfly magnets and loved making the set!

The girls also got to try their first Blue Bell ice cream, which any Southerner will tell you is superior to all other ice creams. 😋

We took the girls to see the science museum thinking it wouldn't be crowded yet since school had started, but boy were we wrong. It was packed, but we managed to each keep track of our assigned child and the girls had a great time!

Basically it was an exhausting visit - haha! The girls had so much fun with their Grandma and Papa and we were so glad they were able to come see us in Oklahoma!

America Trip 2017: Oklahoma City Part 1

My mom flew down to Houston to surprise the girls and ride with us back up to Oklahoma. Basically she was done waiting for us to come see her and figured if she flew down then we would have to head on up with her. ;-)

Our first stop after getting settled was the playground in their housing development. We frequented here and a handful of other parks during our visit.

There was lots of fun in their backyard pool and with mom's dog Jazzy. She learned first-hand what toddler snuggles were all about. And having her bed stolen. 😂

The girls loved their strollers from mom's sweet neighbor Ann (Hi Ann!) and took their animals around the block regularly.

I got a chance to sneak away again and spend an evening with my friend Chelsea. We had a delicious dinner, bowling, and gambling. Perfect.

The girls loved playing mom's piano and all the new toys they were spoiled with during our visit. Things got a little crazy, haha!

We took time one day to drive out to the Children's Museum in Seminole, Oklahoma and the girls had a blast! The museum was huge with so many different rooms to explore and areas to play. We will definitely visit here again (but maybe drop me off at the casino conveniently en route) next visit.
