Seminole, Oklahoma

Sorry for not getting my act together to get pix up yet. It just seems to be very late by the time we get online each night.

We're currently in Seminole, OK with big plans to see a children's museum and water park tomorrow (we had planned to stay in Oklahoma City tonight but the hotels were full ... who knew OKC was such a hot spot???).

Some highlights so far:

We were in Phoenix on Saturday night at a hotel with a great pool and playground. Really, what else can you ask for?

On Sunday, we drove to Albuquerque, NM. En route, we stopped to see a crater from a meteor that hit a long, long time ago. As we were getting close, we explained to the girls that we were going to see a hole in the ground where a giant rock fell out of the sky a long, long time ago. After we got there and looked at the crater, Audrey said "I guess the rock landed while we were still driving. But I wanted to see the rock land." How to explain a few million years to a 3-year old ........

Today, we saw some amazing beauty of God's creation. I told Iain that I could move to Oklahoma. =)

Avery is learning the Alphabet song. The only letters she really knows are C, S and X, but she sings with gusto through the whole song anyway. It is adorable. I'll try to get some footage.

In case you didn't know (Iain and I only know because Audrey tells us about once an hour), 4 of the Disney princesses have been travelling us this entire trip (well, really following behind us in their pink van). They are Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle. If your kids are looking for them, tell them to check with us. Audrey is keeping close tabs on them.

Both girls are addicted to the in-car DVD players. I don't know if I should say this is a highlight, because it might make us seem like some of "those" parents, but I'm actually patting myself on the back for my forethought in buying them last week! =)

Hopefully pix are coming tomorrow .......
