Memories

We took a rather impromptu trip to Tulsa this weekend, and it was a breath of fresh air. We have many special memories in Tulsa, as we began our relationship there and spent many nights out at coffee shops, malls, parks...the list goes on. Almost everywhere we drive in Tulsa, we have at least one memory of a special date, a meaningful conversation, laughter, and falling in love.

One of our favorite memories from that time is going to parks, especially Woodward Park. We went there on one of our very first outings together, and a woman was there feeding the squirrels. We watched her for a while, and then frequented the park with a bag of peanuts. Naturally, we had to go back and relive our memory. It was a bit warm this weekend, so the squirrels weren't quite as active as we remember, but we got several to come up close.

The most amazing thing is that they will take the peanuts from your hand!

Another reason for our visit was to meet our friend's newest addition, their son. We hadn't seen them since their wedding three years ago, so a visit was long overdue! It was wonderful to see them. Lots of laughter and catching up! They graciously hosted us all weekend, too!
 
We even had a chance to go to the lake. Kelli and I stayed at the beach with the baby, and Grant and Jon tried out his jet ski. They enjoyed themselves and were able to cool off in the water. It was toasty on the beach, even in the shade, so we didn't end up staying for too long.

I wish I would have taken more pictures, but I forgot my camera, as well as few other important items, like our phone chargers. Whoops! These are the only pictures I got the entire time... We were just having too much fun :)
 
Thanks Jon and Kelli for hosting a fabulous weekend!
 
Love, the George family

  1. Sounds like a wonderful, relaxing Labor Day Weekend. A sentimental "walk down Memory Lane" or through Woodward Park with the adorable squirrels can be SO much fun! Love you two ;) Mom XOXOX
