OKC Vacation

(Picture of our last moments of our trip but it is so stinkin' cute I had to put it before my post ~ what beautiful little babies I have)!

With one of my friends from high school getting married, we decided to take the kids on our first little family vacation. While we have been to parent's houses, we haven't stayed in a hotel with both kids before, so we were very excited. After KK's soccer game (more on that later for sure), we packed the car up and hit the open road. AJ was napping before we were a mile away from home, a chicken nugget that was nibbled on was still in his little hand. It was a smooth and fast ride, before we knew it we were in downtown OK City checking out bricktown and pulling up to our hotel.

Our very tall and fancy hotel! KK was as excited as I was, we checked in and headed up the elevators up up up 11 stories to our hotel room. The kids ran into the room and headed to check out the view. AJ was pumped, he saw a train and immediately yelled "choo choo" and waved to it. After checking out every inch of the room and exploring all that we could find, we put on our swimsuits and hit the pool. It was quite chilly, so we jumped into the hot tub to warm up every now and then.

That evening, we were guests at a beautiful wedding - the bride and groom said their written vows at the water gardens at sunset. It was a little chilly, but we bundled up and had so much fun. I got to see some friends that I haven't seen in years - it was fun getting to catch up and see them, though it was too short, I wish we could have spent more time together. KK had fun, she was a mess dancing around where ever she roamed, eating salami slices and drinking punch. AJ was all about the cake. He had chocolate cake all over his face, along with a big smile. It always amazes me, but it shouldn't, the kids were great the whole evening. It was super late when we headed home, but no tears or fusses happened all night. KK's favorite part was giving the bride a big hug before we left - she loved meeting the bride :-) And what a beautiful bride you were Angi - congrats to you and Daniel!

The next morning we woke up early (thanks AJ) and had a quick breakfast in bed before heading to the hot tub for a swim. Then it was a nap for AJ while we packed and checked out of our hotel room. KK was very sad, she had big tears in her eyes as she begged to stay another day and night. She kept saying "I love Oklahoma City, I want to stay in this hotel longer"... poor thing. As we promised another family vacation soon, she immediately asked when and if we could stay for two days instead of one. I think our little one has the travel bug.

We ended our visit with a trip to bricktown. We walked along the canal and chased the ducks - well AJ chased them. We had to hold him back so he didn't fall into the water. It was wonderful outside - sunny and a little chilly. We walked around and then had lunch together. After one final walk to the ducks, we got into our car and headed home.

We all had fun and can't wait to have another family vacation together soon! Thank you Angi for letting us share in your very special day!
