We have been here for 2 weeks now and so I thought I would fill everyone on in the things we have found to do since getting here.
It was freezing cold when we hit the border of Oklahoma, but the girls were troopers and endured the few minutes out of the car.
Since we had driven nearly the entire trip on Route 66 (known in today's world as Interstate 40, it goes from Santa Monica, California to Chicago, Illinois) we decided a stop at the museum was necessary.
We had alot of fun exploring the farm portion of the museum. The girls learned all about shucking corn and then grinding it for corn meal.
We thought we left the giant ant hills behind in St. Kitts, but NOPE we were wrong! The ants build these mushroom looking hills. So far we haven't encountered stepping on one these hills.
Tori tried out her driving skills along the historic Route 66. Luckily she had help staying on the road, since she could barely see over the steering wheel.
Chad, Morgan and Jordan enjoyed the drive in movie "Creature from the black lagoon".
The weekend came after our arrival to Stillwater and we ventured back into Oklahoma City, without a trailer in tow. After doing some shopping we found an amusement park (Frontier City) . We splurged and bought season tickets for 2 parks. The girls can't wait for it to warm up so we can go check out the water park next.
Morgan wanted to ride EVERY single rollercoaster! She has absolutlely NO fear of the things and comes off with a huge grin every time!
A view of OKC from the ferris wheel. This and the carousel are about the only rides I can go on for another month or so. I'm looking forward to taking Morgan on those rollercoasters though come July!
Another view of the landscape from the ferris wheel.
Morgan didn't enjoy having to wait while her sisters got to ride the bumper cars. She was devastated that she could go also. Maybe we need to invest in some platform tennis shoes to get her a little taller :)

Was the museum in Kingman? If it was it was the same one we used to go on field trips too. Our favorite thing to do was grinding the corn! Very cool.
That poor child and her height..well in another 10 years she'll be tall enough and won't care.
