June 24-26: Road Trip to OKC with Caroline

Caroline had never taken a trip with us in the motorhome and had asked us previously if we would plan a trip that she could take with us.  The three of us left Wichita on Friday.  , June 24, for Oklahoma City.  We spent three days there.  On Saturday Caroline baked and decorated cupcakes and then we all went to the theatre to see Oliver.  The second day we went to the Cowboy and Western Museum.  Our thought was to spend a couple of hours there, but it was so interesting and she enjoyed it so much, that we were there all day.  And the third day, we went into Bricktown area of Oklahoma City.  Each evening when we returned to the campground, Caroline spent a few hours in the swimming pool.  We had a great time with her and truly hope she enjoyed it as much as we did.


We dressed up and took a portrait of us for the theater.

Caroline basked cupcakes and decorated them for us.



The Cowboy and Western Museum had a special exhibit of nationally known western artists.  It was a very impressive exhibit.  We were not able to take photos in that part of the museum.

The works below are part of the permanent collections and were awesome. 
The End of the Trail




A special section of the museum was an typical western town.  We were able to wander through the town and peek in the shops and offices. 



















The rodeo was a big part of the western life.  There was another wing devoted to the rodeo and the Calvary. 




Outside the museum grounds had many large granite sculptures

















The next day was Bricktown. 
Boat ride through the canals of Bricktown.

Life size sculptures depicting the pioneers coming into the city.

And at the end of the hot day, we all had ice cream

















Every day ended with some time at the pool.


Thank you, Caroline , for sharing such great fun with us.
We love you

.

Lots of hugs and love to all of you,
Barb and Linda
