PsOTD…

Time for me to play catch-up! Here is a quick look back at the last 11 days…

Last Thursday, The Hubs’ parents traveled roughly 9 hours to come spend the 4th of July weekend with us! We also celebrated my father-in-law’s birthday with this masterpiece from our local grocery store.
Happy Birthday Pops!
I drew a cartoon version of The Hubs’ dad and they put it on a cake! It was delicious!

On Friday, following a walk in Bricktown for my mother-in-law, the bullies and myself while The Hubs and his dad were biking the River Trail, we loaded up the vehicle and drove about an hour and 20 minutes south to Davis, Oklahoma to the Bedre’ Chocolate Factory. I failed to get pictures, but you can visit their website by clicking HERE. We also visited Sulpher, Oklahoma…again, no pictures. Epic Blogger Fail.

Since it was 4th of July, we decided to head to our city park to watch the fireworks. Since neither The Hubs nor his dad are fond of large crowds, we ended up doing this…

Yep, that’s an overpass over Interstate 40. It turned out to be a great spot to watch the show!

On Saturday, we went here for bamboo…
Alligator Alley
It’s also a pet store for those who like exotic type animals…

The store is also the proud owner of millions upon millions of nasty mosquitoes, which had a feast of me!

I must be really allergic to this particular breed… I’ve never reacted to mosquito bites quite like this! Fortunately I didn’t end up in the hospital with West Nile or H1N1!  Not yet, anyway.

Later that afternoon, The Hubs and I took his mother to see the magnificent Clydesdales at Express Farms…

I just love going here! See my original post HERE.

Saturday night, we decided to watch “Lone Survivor”. I’m not a big fan of war movies, especially the kind with crazy amounts of foul language. I stayed in the living room with the family while they watched it, but I tuned it out and focused on copy editing my friend’s novel. I did stop to take this picture…
Movie with the bully
Aren’t they so cute!

My in-laws left to head back home early Sunday morning…I left around 11:30 to drive The Kid back to meet his dad for the rest of the summer and The Hubs took off for a business trip to Texas. It was just me and the bullies until late Wednesday night!

This past Friday, The Hubs and I went here…
Barn Raising Party
This is our church’s Children’s’ Pastor and our Sunday School teacher’s new barn! I’d never been to a “Barn Raising” Party before, but this one was great fun! They have two horses…here’s The Hubs with Cassa…

They also have these…

We will have chickens at our next house! How cute are they? There were 3 little chicks running around, too. Their fluffy legs just crack me up!

Following a meal of hot dogs and delicious deserts, The Hubs and I broke out our Washers game and set it up in their yard. The Hubs and I battled it out first. I’ve never made it in the hole before, until this night!
Washers
And I did it twice! I beat The Hubs 14-12!

Saturday night we drove out to another friend’s house for a fish fry. This is the only picture I took…
Watermelon
I don’t really like watermelon, but this one sure smelled delicious!  The fried fish and all the fixings were AMAZING!

That wraps up the past nearly two weeks!  I’ll have a new recipe tomorrow!

Until next time…
Happy Blogging!

Road Trip…

10 Sunday Feb 2013

…about 15 minutes from our house to this…
The Express Clydesdale Farm.
Located at the end of Garth Brooks Blvd., past Route 66, in Yukon, Oklahoma.
According to the farm’s website, “The Express Clydesdales are housed in a specially reconstructed barn originally built in 1936.  A group of Amish barn specialists came from Indiana to rebuild the barn’s structure.”
This creation is standing right outside the front door to the barn…

It’s made entirely of horse shoes!
When you first walk into the main door, you are welcomed by a nice cashier inside the quaint gift shop.  There is no admission fee to see the horses… although, I think I would have paid to see them.
They are amazing!  And gigantic! 
 Check out the hooves!
These Clydesdales are black and white, which are very rare.  Each horse stands more then eight feet high and weighs over 2,000 pounds!
I really liked this one… she is young and very sweet. 
 The black part of her mane was braided to the side of her right eye…
She didn’t have a nameplate on her stall door, so I didn’t know what to call her. 
This big guy is Rocky!  He was very affectionate and gentle. 
He really liked Rob! 
This big man is Shaq.  He is very appropriately named… he’s enormous! 
He seemed pretty old, too.  He looked like he’d been around the block a couple times.
All the horses were so gentle and enjoyed being petted.  They all seem extremely well taken care of and pampered.  Several had just gotten baths and were laying down in their stalls.
The barn was so nice… it even had an upstairs area called “The Hay Loft”.  There was a child’s birthday party taking place there while we were petting the horses.  You can even get married in this barn… how cool is that?
This is how they travel… The horses tour North America and have been featured in many special events and parades, including the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  They also appear in events to raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network. 
The Clydesdales even pulled a stagecoach in Canada that carried the royal couple!

Until next time…
Happy Blogging!
