Oklahoma!

I finally got Spencer to go on a road trip. And a road trip it was! 8 days, 40 + hours of driving, 3000 miles, 7 states! He didn't think he could do it, but we ended up really having fun! We started on the road with my parents and went through Wyoming to Nebraska and stayed with my Aunt Cynthia. She is so much fun and reminds me of my Grandma Lorita! Then on the road again, we finished going through Nebraska, went through Kansas, to Oklahoma to our condos that night. The next day we met up with Larry. A guy that Spencer spent a lot of time with on his mission. Larry took us to the old Coleman Theater. It is supposed to be haunted. Anyways, it was really awesome and old fashioned. Something you would imagine in Phantom of the Opera. We did some more site seeing that day and the next. My dad and Spencer went fishing. Spencer didn't get anything, but my dad got 2 fish. Then we went to Oklahoma city to the temple. It is a very small temple but was just as beautiful as the next. That afternoon, we made it to Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Meg and Pat were waiting for us outside of their apartment. Meg really missed Spencer. The whole time she just wanted to wrestle with him. She even asked me if she could sleep with him, I could sleep on the floor. We stayed with them for a day and a half. We went to a museum on the base, went swimming, and ate at what looked like an old run down building in the middle of nowhere called Meers. They had great burgers made from longhorn beef. It was really fun. We miss Jared, Pat, and the girls and can't wait for them to come back to Idaho! The last 2 days of the journey were homeward bound. We stayed the night in Monticello, UT. They also have a really small temple, which was surprising because the town is so small. We didn't go cause it was late but I love to look at the temples. We made it home exhausted but glad for the experience. It was fun to go with my parents. They are quite the pair and made the trip that much more fun!
