Home Sweet Home

We are home, safe and sound. As expected, our trip had it's ups and downs. It's a difficult situation to begin with and my family is completely crazy, a combination that spells disaster. Erin handled it very well. She was emotional, which is perfectly normal.
I think both of us are glad to be home and on neutral turf.
We did managed to have a lot of fun durring our visit. We visted the Tulsa Zoon where I took this picture of a polar bear.

We played at the park near my sister's house where I had the entire group pretend like they were airplanes so I could snap these photos.

We visited Aola and her family. Her place is lovely and it was comforting to be able to take a break in the middle of our trip to sit on her couch and chat with a friend for a while. Her kids have all grown up to be amazing, like I knew they would, and she and her husband are just as welcoming and down to earth as I've always known them to be. They are an amazing family. I wish I would have pulled out the camera, but I was too busy talking.
All in all, it was a good trip. Despite some emotional turbulance, it was a good trip. I loved getting to know my neice and nephew who, I have to say, are two of the most adorable kids EVER! It was also good to sit down and talk with my grandparents and go midnight shopping with my twin sister in her monster truck. (Yeah, it's Oklahoma.)
