Overnight Getaway

We took the kids for an overnight trip. After church yesterday we headed to Tulsa and stayed the night. We had a great time. The hotel had an indoor pool and we took the kids swimming. It was the first time Samara had been in a pool. After swimming we ordered in some pizza, the kids watched cartoons and we watched the Steelers/Ravens game.



Sidenote: First let me just say, "GO STEELERS!!!!" Yeah, we were pretty pumped. We were also glad to hear the Cardinals won their game so either way we will be happy with who wins the Super Bowl. Kurt Warner is an awesome person. When we were in NYC he gave us 15 free tickets to take the kids we worked with to one of his games when he played for the Giants. After the game he met with all of us and talked with the kids one on one. It was awesome. After the season was over, he paid for all of us to go to Dave and Busters and provided a meal and played games with all the kids. He talked to them about how important it is to have a relationship with God. He is an awesome person!

Today we took the kids to the OK Aquarium. They really liked getting to touch the stingrays and the tunnel with the sharks. The exhibit with Oklahoma fish was pretty neat and you wouldn't believe how large some of the fish caught out of Oklahoma lakes are. Overall we had a great trip and hope to have more this year!
