We got off around 9:45, excited to be on our way to Stephanie’s. Of course, I amused myself with taking a few pictures along the way.
The Canadian River is quite full. This is not a very good quality picture as I was taking it through the window (with reflections) and into the sun.
We were pleasantly surprised at the condition of Interstate 40 from OKC to Henryetta, that’s where we got off, so we don’t know if it’s in bad condition from there to Arkansas or not. We will find out soon and we’ll be pulling the Q.
We got to Stephanie’s about 12:30 PM. There’s a Kildeer pair in the area by their house.
Stephanie and Rick have done a lot of improvements to their yard. The Impatients are very pretty and…. 
the Pink Geranium.
Logan has a baseball game tonight, so we met Rick and, granddaughter, Kristina, at Cheddar’s for dinner before the game. One table took up three parking spots. :-) It was great to see Kristina again! (Remember her visit to see us in Arizona the 24th of April? Hey! Exactly a month ago.
Logan (7) is a Lens Lover…. a photographer’s dream come true. 
I love this picture of Don with Stephanie, Kristina and Logan.
Finally! It’s game time. I was a little disappointed that there was not one single place to take pictures that wasn’t behind a fence, so all the pictures have wire in them, which accounts for the smudgy look in some of them. I only took a few. Ok, I took a lot, so I made a few collages.
Our little baseball player is very intense and this pictures reflects that.
Oklahoma has some very pretty sun sets, too.
Stephanie and Rick are big “24” fans, so we watched the series finale when we got home. That is a very intense show.
A little before midnight, I looked out the front door to see if the mama Barn Swallow was with her babied in the nest and she was. I would love to catch a picture like this: http://www.naturfoto-cz.de/barn-swallow:hirundo-rustica-photo-1402.html
The babies in the nest on Steph’s front porch are not as big as the babies in the picture online. You can barely see their large beaks in the picture here. 
Earlier this afternoon when I tried to take pictures of the babies in the nest, high up in the corner of the porch ceiling, the mama was quite aggressive and would “dive bomb” me! I was too busy ducking to get a good picture.
It’s wonderful to be with our Tulsa/Bixby family.
