More Norman

Here’s another photo album of our time in Norman, OK.

Drew got a chance to reunite with his “oldest” friend Pablo,(the two first met as babies at McFarlin Daycare) as well as another McFarlin friend Samantha and their families for an afternoon swim.

We also enjoyed a visit to Lake Thunderbird - our old sailing grounds - with the Hartleys and a trip to Kidspace which Pat, Drew, Tim, Di and many other volunteers helped build in 1999 shortly before Jake & Emily were born.

We left Norman the evening of July 6 in route to our next stop Albuquerque, NM, via Amarillo, TX. There’s a feed mill just west of Amarillo that was full of more cows than we’ve ever seen in one place. Thankfully, the Hartleys had warned us to close our vents! When Emily learned what really happens there, she decided to become a vegetarian. She made an exception about 15 miles later when Drew ripped open a bag of beef jerky.

The kids now have an outline map of the US to color in each time we visit or pass through a new state... it’s getting pretty colorful!
