Day 26-Hit the Road Jack!

The alarm went off at 5:00 and it was time to start the process all over again.  We finished packing and hit the road to Tulsa!  Poor little Cade woke up while I was showering and Jon was packing the car.  Jon came in to find him standing in the hall with his shoes in his hands.  He didn't want us to forget him.  I don't realize how much he really understands until times like this.  We had cereal with the Clodfelters then said good-byes.  Onward to Tulsa!!!


Garmin changed directions on us without us realizing so we didn't get into Arkansas like we were suppose to....DANGIT!  We did get to see lots of little towns in Texas, which helped me hate it a little less. We stopped at Wendy's for lunch and got each kid their own kid's meal.  This was a big treat for them and you would have thought we gave them each a $100 bill!  It's a good thing we did though because the toy was a microphone.  Jon and I thought it was just a piece of plastic, so we were quite startled when Cade was yelling in it and it echoed his voice like a real mic!  Wylie sang many songs both real and made-up, Cade just yells to hear himself yell.


We arrived at Sara (aka Pippi) and Warren's around 5:00.  Dinner was tomato soup and grilled cheese per Wylie's request.  After dinner we went to Peach Wave, which is a frozen yogurt shop that is a child's delight.  You can mix any of the yogurts you want and then choose which ever toppings you want.  You pay per ounce, so load up boys!  Cade and I had a mango and pomegranate waffle cone topped with kiwi, strawberries, cookie dough pieces and marshmallow cream YUM!  We met Sara's law school friend, Sarah Webber, she's a sweet girl who I think has been kept in her apartment studying too much lately.  She has read this blog religiously and knows more about our trip than my Sara does :-)  We then went to "Warren's trucks" aka the Kenworth Dealership.  Wylie and Cade got to climb in a big rig cab, drive with Warren, and pull the air breaks and horn.  They had more fun there than an amusement park.  We went into Warren's office and Cade got a "truck book" and Wylie got a flashlight.  Seriously, who needs Disneyland and Mickey Mouse when you have Kenworth trucks and Warren.


Finally it was home for bedtime.


Funny Sights:
-60' tall metal sparklers and palm trees and across the road a 60' tall man made out of terra cota planters
-In a small town in Texas a fire truck (old school with big belly tank on a truck) cam out with sirens on.  People just kept going in front of it and finally it got across the highway.  Then, people started passing it.  It came up to a slight right turn to exit and it had to press on it's breaks so hard because it was so heavy that it locked up.  There was just a little old man driving it and it was as if everyone was saying, "Oh, there goes Old Man Smith taking the fire engine out again with the sirens on." It was a crazy sight, but I'm glad it's not my fire station!


Shout Outs:
-Sara for being a good little sister and noticing my tan that most would think was a normal person's skin tone in December.
-Sarah Webber for being my biggest blogging fan! 
Thanks for making me feel good girls!  Best of luck on your bar exam next week!!!!
