Chokma! We just returned from ten days in Oklahoma visiting with family and friends. This was one of the more dramatic trips we have taken. My mom broke her arm at work the week before we came. Having the epicenter of our familial craziness out of commission was an unexpected and unwelcome event. Added to that, my allergies played tricks on me and I came home with an earache. Eva was semi-electrocuted(the driver of the four-wheeler she was on backed into an electric fence!) and hit in the eye with a sparkler. Thankfully, no lasting injuries there, just awesome stories to tell. Colin hurt his wrist playing basketball and burned a couple of fingers. Adria, Liam and Andrew were injury free, but surely tired of the grumpy wounded.
We did have some great times. We were able to visit with Grandpa Wayne, Grandma Clarice and Aunt LeeAnn. Liam caught a couple of fish with Grandpa Keel. Aunt April supplied us with amazing cupcakes. We visited the Chickasaw Cultural Center and would highly encourage anyone and everyone visiting this amazing place. Came away proud of my heritage and grateful my kids were able to see it. At the same time I visited with a cousin I haven't seen in a long time and share memories of a departed cousin.
And then there are all of the kid's cousins on my side of the family. It was great to have them all together. My sisters and brother sure have good looking kids!
