Oklahoma was wonderful, everything that we remembered and loved about that area still holds true! We were blessed to stay in a huge room with beds for all of us at the West house. I call the room the hunting lodge, not sure if I got that from them or not. The first thing we did when we got to town was stop by the church and visit Pastor Henke. Seeing him and getting to spend some time with him was a big part of this vacation!
Cooper Thought it was fabulous to snuggle with Timmy, he definitely did not sleep there though!
The older kids got to help Tim train one of his labs for field trials, he was a gracious and patient teacher. I did not get a picture, but I know it is a memory that will not soon be forgotten by them! They have a large pond so they were also able to fish! We became increasingly aware of Lucy's love of the outdoors on this trip!
Both kids caught four fish! Gotta love an easy fishing hole to help them see the fun in it. While fishing Lucy declared this is "the best day ever.". Timmy also commented that he is a good fisherman but is better at being a "fisher of man". I love when my kids get to experience something new or out our normal routine!
It was 60 on Friday and then 90 on Saturday, we decided to give the pool a whirl! It was cold, but that didn't stop us, just made the swim a little shorter.
If you have been around Lucy and dogs, you know she is not at all a fan. She really warmed up to their dogs...this picture was taken last night. Nancy caught Lucy standing and petting Idgy and even had her face resting on her...it knocked my socks off? They had one dog that was skid dish with th kids, we think that may have helped Lu. Seeing a dog be afraid of her and having it pointed out by Nancy.
We are so blessed to have friends all over the country, it happens that way in this ministry. It is truly wonderful to be able to reconnect with them!
