Day 22
Today marks three weeks on the road! We are…still on the road! 🙂
Our time in Oklahoma has been fun. The highlight for today was meeting Matthew’s grandfather for the first time. We first met him for ice cream (well, coffee for the adults), then we took a little drive to Fort Gibson, which dates back to 1824. It was really neat to tour the fort and watch Levi run around. Then we went out for lunch and got to know him a little better. It was so sweet to see him with his great-grandchildren (the first he’s met!) – he was wonderful with them!
Tonight we hope to relax, catch up on some miscellaneous things, and prepare for more time on the road…especially considering that after Sunday our plans are completely up in the air! Wheeee!
And now, pictures…

Levi was being cranky, but I like to pretend it's his serious pose...under the Arch, of course!
Amelia passed out...but proof for later that we did take her!
Matthew and Levi in front of the okapi!
Okapi!

Yay Meerkat! Yay Great-grandchildren! What a time!
So glad you have this opportunity–even the harder times–you will look back on this trip with so many fond memories…and it’s just the beginning!
