Bartlesville, OK

We started our vacation on Thursday night, Nathan's little brother, John, joined us on our trip and between the two guys we were able to pull an all nighter and get to Bartlesville at a reasonable time on Friday. Lee slept for a large part of the evening (in the car) but it didn't go exactly as planned. (it never does) sigh.
We stayed with Nathan's (and John's) grandparents for 5 days. Phil and Maxine are the best hosts you can have... we ate out, went shopping, snoozed and had a great time visiting. Maxine even bought me a beautiful Sunday dress. Basically they spoil us like crazy.... after a few relaxing days we drove up to Grandpa's homestead and saw where he was raised. (about 1hr away from Bartlesville) We even had time to see where his parents were buried and a few other relatives. It was fun to imagine Grandpa as a boy running through the trees and heading to town with friends. What a wonderful carefree time and place he lived in. Beautiful!
One of the small towns near his homestead was having a small carnival for Labor day so we stayed and played for awhile. TJ rode his 1st big kid carnival ride... he promptly told us after wards that he WAS NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN! LOL!
Unfortunately all good things come to an end.. and we had to leave. BUMMER! It always comes to soon! We left Wednesday for Wichita Falls, TX to see my brother and his new baby.
Nate's Brother John, Phil and Maxine Panther & TJ. No, grandpa is not choking TJ. LOL!
A goodbye photo. Sniff. Sniff.

Lee and Daddy riding a safe kids ride. Just Lee's speed!
Ahhh... Perfect for Taylor. If only he had stuck with this kind of ride.
Nope, Tj JUST HAD to ride this one. It'll be awhile before he tries this one agian.
Lee was not happy at all about his dad and brother being locked up in a steel cage.
