The Black Mesa, I have come to discover, is one of … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
The Great State Fair
We hit the State Fair last night, Okie Tourist style, with stroller and bags and all the things it seems to take to make a family outing complete. We tried to do it on the cheap, although we spent $21 on corndogs, lemonade and chicken-on-a-stick to feed our family of 5. Not bad. Of course, … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading
