Tulsa, Oklahoma: Family Celebrations

Mary Lynn and I had a great time visiting our son and daughter-in-law in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Christopher just started at a new church as the Youth Minister. He has doubled attendance at the youth events in just a few short months so both he and the leadership team are excited about him joining Faith Church.

MLA & I are always happy to see Christopher and Rachael however this time we got to attend a Sunday service at his new church. Wow -- what a great service and the pastor is terrific.

Arriving in Tulsa on Friday, we had originally planned to leave on Monday am however Rachael's birthday was on Tuesday so we accepted the kids invitation to Rachael’s party. Just the family and a few close friends but it was a lot of fun. Rachael’s sister Tara has three girls and a baby boy who just turned 5 months.

The girls went swimming (or splashing might be a better term) in a giant inflatable that had three spray nozzles. It was warm outside but that water was ice cold. They didn’t mind as you can see from the pictures. They would get wet and then go dry off to get warm. As soon as they had warmed up a bit they were back in the ‘splash’. Too funny – they even named one of the areas as their hot tub.

Sure beats running through the lawn sprinkler like we used to do when I was young…

Christopher and I also spent some time shooting some pictures of flowers and I shoot some photos of Christopher & Rachael down by the River Walk Park.

All in all another fantastic visit in Tulsa. Sad to leave knowing we will not see them until Scott’s wedding in September.
