365 Blog-Day 173

Katy and James chilling on the couch before we headed out for the day.
Caleb asleep in the chair with his coffee.
A really cute picture of all of us in Bricktown on the riverwalk in OKC. Maegan was just resting her eyes. ;)
There are these murals all around Bricktown.
We just had to check out Bass Pro since we were so close.
We also stopped by the OKC memorial for the bombing of '95. It was such a strange experience to be walking on a sidewalk made of granite from the remains of the building after the bombing. It had two entrances. One said 9:01 (a moment of peace in the town before the bomb) and one said 9:03 (moments after the explosion). It was kind of crazy to think that 168 people's lives and their family's lives were changed in that 2 minute period.
This tree is 90+ years old and survived the explosion. It is known as the survivor tree.
That night, we decided to have an Oklahoman cultural experience and check out Riverwind Casino. None of us won any money, but some of us won back a few dollars of what we had spent, so it still turned out to be an a fun night. I'm pretty sure we had more fun getting lost on the way to the casino though. haha :)
