Jim unexpectedly ended up with 10 days off over Thanksgiving. We decided we needed to do something fun with the time and since it is horribly expensive to fly that time of year we opted for a road trip instead. We decided we wanted to head south to avoid the snowstorms so decided on heading to Oklahoma and Texas to visit families. The first day of our journey we started before daybreak heading south. We made Farmington, NM around lunch time and enjoyed a fun visit with the Stanton family. We didn't have a set stopping place for the night and ended up pushing all the way through to my brothers home in Altus,OK arriving about midnight.
The kids had a ton of fun playing together the next morning and then we headed to church with them.
We left that afternoon to make the couple hour drive into Fort Worth to the Baker's home. On Wednesday we headed back up to Oklahoma to do some rock climbing at the Wichita Mountain Wildlife Refuge where the Remke's met us on their journey from Kansas.
We enjoyed a great Thanksgiving with the Remke's and Baker's.
That night the Mom's headed out to do some Black Friday shopping. We found some great deals but didn't make it to bed until the wee hours of the morning. The kids enjoyed spending time with quite a few of their cousins on this trip. On the way home we split the trip up by stopping for the night in Albuquerque.
