Long Overdue: Pictures from 2013

After reading back a few entries on this blog I realized that, after an exciting introduction to our Summer Insanity 2013, I never followed up with any pictures, itineraries, plans, etc...

So, in the spirit of "Better late than never..."  Without further ado...

Summer Insanity 2013


Archimedes didn't want us to go...
or he enjoyed the new place to nap.
The road out of town...


The storm brewing in the distance...  Those clouds were awesome.

I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but
the McDonald's was on FIRE!
(The Hollywood exit off of I-27, south of Amarillo)
East of Amarillo, on the way to Oklahoma City!


Good to know that there is a shelter
at the rest stop!



That was all for day one!  (Relating to the previous post!) 

Summer Insanity 2013: Day TWO

We had an AMAZING breakfast at Katie's Diner!
Located in the quaint town of Guthrie, Oklahoma.

Waiting on breakfast, my mom crocheted bracelets for
doctors from Childress, Texas to hand out to young
patience in foreign medical centers.

On the way in to OKC, we took pictures!
(Fun fact: I am wearing that same t-shirt today!)
The fields on our drive... 
After the serious pictures, Morgan and I took the liberty of entertaining ourselves. All of the other passengers in the car, Richard and my parents, were less amused by our dramatic reenactments: famous fairy-tale death scenes.

My darling sister posing with one of the giant horse statues at the waterfront park art installation.
 

It was a VERY close call for Richard, at the giant steed galloped toward him...
Thank goodness it was just a statue!

Richard's cool new t-shirt!
This is Morgan, not how long her hair is! 

My darling sister, Morgan,
smiling on the super cool bridge.

Our selections from POPS Soda Shop on Historic Route 66! 

My hand at Family Game Night! 
Parents playing Apples to Apples! So much laughing!




 Summer Insanity 2013: Day THREE


 With such an eventful day before, the drive the next day was tiring. We got on the road early, heading from Oklahoma City toward Tulsa. From there, we went on across the lovely state of Missouri to Saint Louis.
 With the fabulous (but busy) day out and about with my family the day before, additional fuel sources were needed for a successful driving day!
Long but good day...
