Quick Trip to Oklahoma

We need to travel more. It is always a struggle to find time, once the kids are in school. Cooper had off one day, so we decided to take a quick trip to OKlahoma. It worked out that Kasey Musgraves was in  Tulsa that weekend, which is someone that both Joel and I have wanted to see. So the plan to head up and see some family in OKC then hit Tulsa Sunday night. 
  
 First stop is the cows.

 Just a few more
 Jack and Martha loaned us their TRex off road vehicle. The kids wanted to take it for a ride. Cooper was able to drive around the field. He had a great time.
Now it was Lauren's turn. 
Now we are getting going. Love that smile.

We were able to spend some time at the Science Museum. It seemed to be under construction, but still had some great exhibits.

Here is a pic from the concert.  It was great to get back to Cain's Ballroom. Thankfully they had  some upgrades and the central cooling was a great addition. And Kasey sounded amazing.

 We are thankful to Jack and Martha for watching the kids while we got a night out. They took the kids to a movie and McDonalds. It does not get any better for a 4 and 7 year old.
 Kids ready to head back to Colorado.
We had a great trip and now we need to plan more.
