Everything is still going well out here in Oklahoma. The rain/floods finally stopped and now it is just plain HOT! I feel so bad for the Brenton out there knocking in the heat every day while I'm home in the air conditioning. He is such a hard worker and I am so proud of him for how well he has done this year. We have made a lot of friends out here, but really miss our families and friends back home. Summer has gone by so fast and we are getting so excited to be back in Utah! Only TWO more weeks!
4TH OF JULY!
This year the 4th of July fell on a Sunday, which was great because it is the boys' only day off. Our original plans were to light off our own fireworks on the night of the 3rd then go to Bricktown for Red, White, and Boom on the 4th, but the weather wasn't the best on the 4th here. So rather than going downtown for the festivities, a group of us went and raced go-carts indoors then lit off our own fireworks again in the park. Oklahoma doesn't enforce firework laws so we got some pretty big ones. It was a lot of fun!

Brenton beat me on the 2nd race so he made me take this pic, even though I beat him on the 1st one.
Cody loved his fireworks!

BRICKTOWN
One Sunday afternoon we decided to go for a walk around Bricktown with the Palmers. There is a canal that runs down a line of shops, restaurants, and bars. It is actually quite pretty.
Toby Keith is from here, so they have a bar/grill dedicated to him.

CHOCOLATE EXHIBIT/MUSEUM
We saw some advertisements for a chocolate exhibit at a museum close by, so of course we girls had to go check it out. When we got there we found out that our tickets for the chocolate museum also got us into the rest of the exhibits in the museum. We saw a lot of interesting things and had a lot of fun.
