Oooooklahoma!

We have had a great week here in the land of beef, wheat, and cheap gas! This weekend we managed to squeeze a wedding shower and a birthday party for four into one marathon Marzuola family day!! The cornerstone of the celebration was Papa's 87th birthday on Saturday. It was a blast to be with everyone, even if it was just for a few hours!

Yesterday, we spent part of the day with my grandparents, bid Jen & Jon good bye, and also got to see one of my good friends from high school and her beautiful family in their new house. We had a really nice dinner (some delicious burgers!) and talk with Andrea and Jared while Lilly and Addison played dress up... nice choice Lil!

Today we went to a family favorite on Route 66. Pops is really a gas station, but their selection of bottled sodas is impressive and their food is pretty darn good too.

After lunch we tried (and failed) to find a swimming pool that was open. You wouldn't think this would be hard in this part of the country this time of year, but apparently it is. We decided to take Lilly to her first movie at the movie theater of my childhood. It was funny to walk into the same lobby and sit in the same seats. We saw Planes and about 25 minutes in she whispered, "Mom, this is really cool!" It was worth it and we all enjoyed the show! Tomorrow we head out for Iowa. We are sad to leave this part of our family behind, but excited for some Mahaney family fun!!
