When we travel to OK, we can count on doing certain things - eating pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, and chips, watching movies and eating lots of homemade popcorn, shooting guns, checking out Papa John's gadgets, and eating Braum's ice cream. Buster the dog is always a hoot as well. One of the new things for this trip was firing the cannon. It's small but still really loud. We had beautiful weather while there, so the kids were even playing frisbee one day. We also looked at the sun through a special telescope.
I appreciate being able to just relax - read a book, catch up on blogging, 5-mile morning jogs down the country road, and sipping on hot chocolate topped with a marshmallow peep. I ate way too much junk food too! Alex and the kids discovered the Dollar General store this trip, which had Lego mini figures. They're supposed to be surprise figures, but Alex and Owen know the Legos well enough to feel the figure through the bag and know which one they're getting. They were pretty excited about their Lego finds. I also get excited about shopping at Wal-Mart.
We stayed through New Years, so we got to ring in 2025 in OK. On the way out, it was fitting that we stopped for (I think) the 5th outing to Braum's. Owen mentioned how it would be cool to have one of the Braum's hats that he saw the employees wearing. We didn't think they'd have any for sale, but upon asking, we found out they were $2.77 each! We ended up buying 4 Braum's hats. Alex wasn't going to get one at first, but he decided to go back in and get one. Maybe I should have bought one too, since mine and Alex's first date was to Braum's. True Braum's fans! 😊
