OOOOOHHHHklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain

On our was to OK City we saw a huge cross. like HUGE!!!! it was 190 feet tall! So we pulled of the road and went to chekc it out. It was all life size bronze statues of the stations of the cross. They were amazing!! It takes 9 months just to make one person, and there is only one guy making them.





Then we went to the Oklahoma City Bombing muesem. It was THE BEST muesem i have ever been too. And believe me i have been to countless number of muesems. It was the most beautiful touching memorial to the people who died and the ones left behind during the oklahoma city bombing. Outside there was a huge reflective pool symbolizeing the exact second when the bomb went off, and there are chairs set up for each life lost on each floor.


Then we drove to the old huge silo that was converted into a rock clibing arena. It was pretty awesom, chris anmd shelby clumbed, and the rest of us just watched, it cost a bunch of money!


Then we went to El Chicos for dinner. We had a GREAT time. We got a little crazy.... if you know my family well, you know when that happens things get a little weird....
Shelby kept doing the weird "hook the moon" dance move (that was an inside joke the whole trip) and Chris hate so many chips he didn't eat any dinner. It was our last night on the trip and we went crazy.

After we ate too much:

We drove for 2 hours and slept at a Mickey D's!

All kidding aside, it must have been an amazing site for the OK bombing. There is so much to ponder, to wonder what the past, how about the future. I remember when I went to the Viet Nam memorial in DC - it had been open 6 months. Holly & I could talk much for hours - really thought provoking.
