Thanksgiving Trip to Oklahoma!































This past week Jord, Rocky, and I took a road trip to my parents house in Edmond, Oklahoma. We left last Friday and drove the whole 14 hours and got there really early Saturday morning. Later Saturday my parents, brother, and us went to a mexican resturant in Bricktown called Abuelos. It has always been my families favorite place to eat mexican food! After we ate we walked around Bricktown; we went into Toby Keiths' "I Love This Bar and Grill" resturant to see what the score of the OU game was. It was a really neat place; we went in a few shops and looked around and then my dad decided he wanted to take us to the Oklahoma City bombing memorial. In the memorial there are two tall black walls that have either 9:01 or 9:03 on them. These times are the begining of destruction and the end of destruction. It was very neat and we really enjoyed being there. After we had taken the tour around the area one of the guides told us that everyone who visited the memorial should put their hand in the water and then place it on the black wall and your hand print would be placed on the wall forever. It was really neat how the handprint stayed; it was a very neat experience. The next day we got up and all went to breakfast at a local country resturant, it was very good! After that we headed to my grandparents house in Blanchard to sight in Jordon's rifle and do a little trap shooting. Once we got there my grandpa asked me to come in his gun shop and he handed me a shotgun that I used to shoot trap with when I was younger and he said "take good care of this" ! I was so excited, we went out to the pasture and sighted in Jordon's rifle and then my grandpa handed me his gun that he likes to call his "crazy hefer" (haha) and told me to shoot at a target he had posted. I actually suprised myself and did a really good job for not shooting in a few years. After that we headed up to my uncle's house and had a little trap shooting tournament and suprisingly I did better than any of the guys! haha I couldn't belive it! It was a lot of fun! Later that week me and Jordon and my brother Chase went back down to my grandparents house and went hunting, we didnt see anything but it was still a lot of fun! Thanksgiving morning we woke up to the smell of moms wonderful cooking!!! We had a lot of family over; my grandparents, uncles, aunt, cousins, and both of my great grandmas! We ate a huge amazing meal! We also rode a 1971 Honda motorcycle that my grandpa fixed up and passed down to my brother! It was halarious! Rocky had an amazing time, he ran all over the pastures; he had a ball! After dinner and later that evening we sat down and played a game called "Chicken Foot". It's a domino game that is a tradition for my family at get togethers!! It was really fun! We weren't ready to leave, we had so much fun!
