Right . . . Mother's Day was a few weeks back, but I am just now getting to the blog. It's called too many projects for May!
We traveled to Oklahoma City to meet up with Bryan's family for Mother's Day weekend. We went up a day early to visit the OU campus, where Bryan earned his undergraduate degree. It was really fun to walk the campus, see his old dormitory, and munch at an old college restaurant. And did I mention I learned the meaning of an Oklahoma sudden "shower." I believe I screamed, "Ruuuuunnnn."
The rest of the weekend we spent with the Youree family. This was the first time all the Youree kids and spouses were together since I have joined the family, which, of course, made for a great time! While there, we ate too much food, played in the hotel pool, watched OU and OSU baseball game (literally a view to die for from our room), endured a haunted house (NEVER AGAIN!), laughed at the grandkids' antics, and--the highlight of the weekend--saw the Lion King stage show.
For me, it was great to see the dynamics of my new family. I chuckled a bit as I could see everyone fitting into their "roles" when they get together. Grown adults become mom and dad's pride and joy still soaking up the love and attention they provide, and the memories from years past fuel laughter and bonds. So great.
The pics are: the Yourees, the Thompsons, the Raineys, kiddos in the hot tub, the view from our room, and Mr. Hoops.
