A Visit From the Underwoods

We had a great time with Eric's
parents last weekend.  The weather was perfect
for all of the activities we planned.

We took them to Tulsa's Oktoberfest, 
which is a German Festival.  
We ate some pretty good food and
watched some German Dancers and listened 
to some German Music!  After we spent
some time there, Eric took us to the
University of Tulsa to give us a tour
of the Law School.  We even got to sit in on
a lecture, which was pretty interesting.

On Saturday, we woke up REALLY early
to drive to Norman, Oklahoma for the 
OU/Kansas State Game.  
It was an 11:00 AM game, so we had to leave
Broken Arrow around 6:00 AM.  We like to
tailgate and beat the rush into Norman.

When we got to town, we dropped by
our usual tailgate for a brief moment,
and then we headed to a neat restaurant
on Campus Corner called 747.  We ate
Hamburgers and Chicken Wraps for 
Breakfast before heading into the game.
The weather was absolutely perfect.

The campus was filled with mums, and they were all gorgeous!

So I think we all know that the
outcome of the game was a bit
disappointing, to say the least.
(To my Kansas State family members,
congratulations, and we'll see you next year)

After the game, we drove into Oklahoma City
for an early dinner at Zio's in the Bricktown
District.  Then we went to the Oklahoma
City Bombing Memorial.  
We made it back to Tulsa in 
time to catch the other football
games we were interested in...
well, mostly just the Notre Dame
Game (My sister-in-law is an alumna).

On Sunday, we went to church
and then out to a yummy lunch at
the Riverfront Grill in Jenks.
It was so fun having my parents
and Eric's parents in the same town.
We all enjoyed our time together.

Sunday afternoon, we planted some
ornamental grass in our backyard.
Our backyard didn't have any kind
of plant in it until we planted the
pretty grass.  We plan to do more
to our backyard as we can.


So, we had a busy weekend,
but it was so much fun!

Who wants to come visit us next?
