Oklahoma vacation

At the end of last month, John was generous enough to let me go on a week-long vacation to visit my little brother with my two sisters. He even donated the airplane vouchers to pay for the whole trip, and gave up his chance for a trip. And last but not least, he took vacation and took care of the kids. He is awesome and I love him.

The vacation was really fun. I don't to get to spend tons of time with my sisters anymore because we're all busy chasing our kids, so it was great to have fun with them. I love both my sisters a lot. And we really don't get to see my brother and his family very often because they live in Oklahoma and have a hard time getting up here to visit. His wife is awesome and a great hostess and always kind enough to let us stay with them when we come visiting. And his two boys and little girl are super cute.

My hope for the vacation was to get in some great sleeping time and not to change any diapers (sorry Jani) and it was all I hoped for. John also took us on a great little river walk they have in downtown Oklahoma City. We played games every night and had a great time over all. So thanks to both the Johns in my life and to my sisters for agreeing to join me. My John says it is my last vacation for about 5 years unless I take him with me. I think the kids wore him out. But they were all still alive and in good condition when I got back so I think he did a great job.
