Tulsa trip recap

Last week we left for Tulsa. I have to admit that we were dreading the car ride up there. But to our surprise, Evelyn did AMAZING! Not one peep from her the entire trip there or back. Who would have thought! We took the advice of a friend and left early in the morning so that Evelyn could finish her night off in the car. So I fed her at 3:30 in the morning and we left the house around 4 am. She fell back asleep until 7-ish. We stopped for gas (and coffee for a tired driver) and I fed her. Then back on the road again. Here we are at our second stop (of course at a Shell station! We wouldn't buy gas anywhere else!).

We didn't stop again until we were in Okmulgee, OK which is just outside Tulsa. We found a little park to have lunch (I had packed along some pb&j, apples, carrots, and pretzels). It was nice to sit outside and just relax after being in the car all day. Here is Michael with Evelyn at the park:

When we got there Grandma and Grandpa were VERY excited to see Evelyn.

Saturday, all seven cousins (yes, I said seven cousins. And they are all under the age of 10!) met at the mall to have pictures taken. Fun. We actually got a good shot with all the kids looking at the camera and smiling!

Here are just a few more shots of our trip:

Oh, and I forgot to mention that Evelyn learned a new trick while we were there. She can now suck on her toes while strapped into the carseat. Now that is flexibility!!
