March Madness!

This year for spring break we drove to Oklahoma City to watch BYU in the basketball tournament.  They won their first game in double over time and played well in the second game, but didn't win.  We had great seats for both game, and had a lot of fun watching the games.  Justin and Tyson were both on the local news talking about the mighty Cougars.

Friday we went to the Zoo.  There isn't a whole lot of stuff to do there in Oklahoma city, so everyone was at the zoo.  They said they had record breaking numbers.  Ryan and I were only there for about an hour because Ryan threw up while we were in the holding room to go look at the larakeets (the good part is the exhibit was closed and so the rest of our clan got to stay and hold the birds for as long as they wanted).  Luckily Ryan felt better after that and after we came back and got them from the zoo we went and saw the memorial for the Oklahoma city bombing.  This was increadible.  There is so much symbolism in that memorial.  Even Ryan enjoyed it and still asks me questions about it.

Saturday we woke up to snow.  It snowed all day, but we still went to the Science Museum there.  It was wonderful.  It had so much stuff to do and the kids all loved it.  It was nice that it had snowed because I think it kept a lot of people away.  The kids went with Jeff to a Science Live show and they said that was by far the best thing.  I stayed out with Abigial so I didn't see it.  Saturday night we went to the BYU vs. Kansas State game, and then we drove home.  We didn't leave Oklahoma until 10:00 p.m., so it was a long drive, but it was nice to get home and be able to relax and get ready for school starting on Monday.

Sorry I don't have any pictures.  Our computer broke and it took three weeks to get it back, but now we can't figure out how to get everything put back on it, so I don't have any pictures uploaded yet.

That sounds like so much fun. We stayed in OKC on our way back from Ft. Stockton @ Christmas. It didn't look like there was a whole lot there to me either.
