It's pumpkin time!

Don't you just love fall? My family just got back from a trip (actually outside of Oklahoma this time) and the delightful fall weather welcomed us home. Our first weekend back, we headed out to the pumpkin patch - one of our favorite autumn traditions.
Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum

We took the family to the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum recently.
I had been to the Memorial several times, but not the museum. The admission price of $10 for adults and $6 for children always seemed a little high to me. For our family, that's $32, and that's just because the baby doesn't need a ticket to get in.
But I had been to the outside area, several times, so I knew what to expect.
We came on a Saturday, which apparently means free parking downtown. The meters say it's free on Sundays only, so we fed the meter before someone wandered by and mentioned in passing that it was free the whole weekend. We were out of change anyway, so we took a chance and didn't get a ticket.
The Memorial is such a quiet, serene place. Everyone is so introspective. It means different things to everyone, but it all revolves around what happened on April 19, 1995.
The first thing we saw was the fence. The fence is part of the fence that was installed shortly after the bombing to protect the site. People from all over (myself included) left items on the fence in the aftermath, and although it was not originally part of the plan for the memorial, planners later decided to keep a portion of the fence. A booklet from the memorial refers to the fence as America's sympathy card.
Way out West at Frontier City

I have to get this out in the open first. This review may be slightly biased because I seriously love Frontier City.
White Water Bay

I have to admit - I was a little worried before our visit to White Water Bay this weekend.
I did my regular online search beforehand, and the reviews I saw didn't shine a good light on the place. I read about broken rides, awful lines, smelly astroturf and rude staff.
But we gathered up the sunblock anyway, and went to see for ourselves. And we didn't see any of those things. Not even one.
