After two weeks of flying solo, I had visitors! Joe and Melissa drove in Wednesday night to spend the fourth in Broken Arrow! Our weekend started on Thursday with a morning visit to Blue Bell Creamery. After a wonderful tour of the factory, we had a complimentary scoop(they actually give around 3 scoops per bowl!) of delicious ice cream. May I recommend the the Coffee Toffee, it had a great coffee flavor with giant pieces of toffee. From there we grabbed a bite to eat and drove out to the aquarium. Apparently it drove Joe to stick his head in a shark's mouth!
We went through the shark tube, saw the beavers (Go Beavs!) and headed out the Arkansas river located behind the aquarium.
As we were leaving Joe stuck his head in another large predators mouth, apparently he'll do anything to get out of Oklahoma!
We followed that up with a movie and a nail polish session. Once your married, you always have someone to do your right hand! New skill for Joe, I see a future!
In Oklahoma fireworks are legally sold, and EVERYONE sets them off. We sat in the McDonald's parking lot eating milkshakes and had multiple shows simultaneously going on all around us! It was wonderful!
Friday, we went hiking, sat by the pool and watched
Intouchables. It was an awesome movie , I highly recommend it, kudos to Melissa for the pick! Saturday we went to the farmers market, saw Star Trek and made peach blueberry tarts, featured below. The spiral of extra dough and brown sugar was eaten to fast to be featured! Eventually Joe will learn not take things directly from the oven and put them into his mouth, but until then we will watch his "Dis is hot!" face followed by loud hissing/breathing sounds.
Sunday Joe and Melissa visited Woodward Park, and saw the many swans. We then went to Livesay Farm and picked up some peaches. It was a wonderful weekend and the company couldn't have been better!
