Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweepin' down the plain
And the wavin' wheat can sure smell sweet
When the wind comes right behind the rain....
this was our forecast for our trip to Oklahoma....Hennessey, to be exact...to visit Sean's Uncle and his family....26 of us converged upon their "compound"....house, barn, bunk house, pond (very very dry pond), chickens, a rooster (good morning), rabbits and land...lots and lots of land. Filled with fishing poles, four wheeling, shooting guns, riding horses, egg searching, spider killing and eating. Plus a quick trip into Oklahoma City for an boot shopping adventure. Regardless of the heat....117 one day.....a dry, oven feeling, non humid heat....we had a GREAT time. The kids especially!!
Halfway stop for lunch and leg stretching......Kansas City
ALL were napping at this point....Sean included.....not me ;)
We rode horses....some of us for the first time.
some kids doubled up....
Sean and Steve actually took the reigns and RODE ALONE....needless to say, I think Sean wants a horse....just need some land to put one on....haha
some rode twice (mallory/kane)
some rode incognito....heh heh
There was a day of fishing...the (boys) kids fished at the crack of dawn with the dads. IN THEIR JAMMIES!!! The pond is sooooo dry. Most of what you see is the pond bottom. The 15 acre pond is now less that 1/2 an acre. Oklahoma is in a DROUGHT....they need water!!
kinda scenic....and BREEEEZY.....but a warm, almost hot breeze
....kari....note the horse pic. youre eyes closed, mals open.....this pic is the opposite...like momma like daughter
the fourwheeler....
even Abs joined in on the fishing...Kellan was there with Shannon, however they headed up for a snack.
Huck Fin attire....Sean toes are still reddish
the crew...note the jammies on the boys
the haul....which we ate for dinner.
proof of the heat. which was remedied by a water gun fight....
gun shooting....a 38 caliber, 22 long rifle, israeli made uzi, 22 caliber drum tommy gun....I only shot the 38 caliber and hit the target twice out of six shots....pretty good for a first timer.
Really really really good fried chicken....
which was featured on D, D and D...
royalty was even there
The Cattlemans club in OKC.....again, visited by triple D
Lamb Fries....google it.....Finley ate 3
the bunkhouse...where the boys slept...
we hope to return next year!! maybe when it is a little cooler!!
