This has been such a fun weekend. On Thursday night, our friend, Clint, flew into Tulsa to visit us. We picked him up after class and came back to Stillwater. On Friday, I had already put my time in for the week, so I was able to take 1/2 the day off : D Chris still had to work, but who really calls flying work?!
I got to lunch with Clint and catch up. It is always so great to spend time catching up with good friends. We even got our exercise in. I toured him around campus and took a walking lap around a nearby lake. We really enjoyed the beautiful weather. Lucky for us, Chris' last flight was canceled due to the wind, so we all came home and had dinner. Fajitas! YUM!! My personal chef, Chris, prepared a wonderful dinner.
We hung out on Friday night and woke up kinda early Saturday morning (kinda early was like 8am-which was sleeping in for me : ). We had one of my favorite college breakfasts-Bacon, Eggs, and Pancakes. Chris was having a hard time waking up-but it's amazing how quickly the smell of bacon can get a person out of bed!
We took Clint back to the airport in Oklahoma City that morning so he could catch a flight home. Here he is, all dressed up in his work uniform:
And us being goofy:
We were sad to have him leave so quickly, but we are glad he came to see us. (I think he wanted to see the progress on his crown royal quilt...yes, it's coming together slowly!)
We spent the rest of the day in OKC being tourist and going to the circus. We started off at Bricktown:
This is an area of OKC where there are restaurants, a river walk, etc-kinda like Old Town in Wichita, KS. We walked up and down the river walk area and stopped for lunch along the way. Chris was being goofy, as usual.Haha!! This picture makes me laugh!
And of course, us:
We also saw a bunch of people gathered up by one of the restaurants. Chris said there was a casting call for The Biggest Loser! That is one of my favorite shows. So I will be interested to see if anyone from OK makes it on one of the upcoming shows!
After the river walk, we went to the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial. I have been there once before, briefly, but Chris had never been there before. It is such a beautiful memorial.
Then, we went to THE CIRCUS!!!
I haven't been in years, so when we saw it was going to be in town, I couldn't resist. I wanted to see the elephants! And boy did the elephants steal the show (or so I thought). They were so speedy! I was impressed that such a large animal could be so quick and amazing. They had the elephants parade around the arena and do tricks. Even the tigers had nothing on them! (I was disappointed by the tigers...not a good act by them-no offense)
I wanted to paint the elephants toe nails : D maybe I'm the only one to think that it would be cool to have an elephant with painted toe nails. : D
There were several good acts and we really enjoyed our trip. I think Chris enjoyed seeing me all excited about the elephants and I enjoyed the entire day.
Today was spent doing some homework and just chilling out. It has been a great weekend and we really enjoyed having our friend in town.
