Labor Day Weekend


We had such an amazing weekend! Sorry it has taken so long for me to post. My parents and older brother came down and we had a blast. Saturday, TJ and Chris went and played golf. Those two LOVE to play and go almost every time they get together. I would love to be able to watch from a distance because they always have such funny stories. While the boys were golfing, Mom, Dad, and I went to town. Dad is looking for a new motorcycle so we went to the Harley shop and to a couple more. The weather was so great it just screamed for a long motorcycle ride. Dad found several that he liked. He was all talking about motors and heel shifters and all Mom and I considered were the pretty colors! It is so much fun to people watch at places like that. You have my dad who is a bank president and is always well dressed to the guy who looks like a recruiting poster for the Hell's Angels! It is so much fun to just get to hang out with my parents like that. The picture above is not that great of a picture but it is the most recent one of me and my family. We are standing on the lookout at the battle field near our home. We toured it this past weekend as well. Dad is a huge history buff and growing up we toured countless Civil War battlefields and so many other cool historical places. Who knew that when I grew up we would have a Civil War battle field literally in our back yard. What you can't see in this picture is the huge drop off right underneath the ledge I am sitting on. From where we are standing you can turn around and still see cannons and split rail fences. It is really a neat place to go and visit. There is a driving trail that you can follow and read all the signs that tell you what happened, there are hiking trails through the woods, and there are also horseback trails. TJ and I love to take Capone hiking there. If you go at the right time of day, you can see all sorts of deer and rabbits.
We don't have any pictures of the festival in OK because wouldn't you know that my camera was left at home?! But it was a gorgeous day to be outside and we had tons of fun!
