OKC

We went to Oklahoma (home of tornadoes) to see Nate and Brooke the other weekend. It was tons of fun. A much needed vacation for the both of us. We drove there and as soon as we crossed the border into Oklahoma it rained and I don't mean just a little rain. It rained so hard (we could not see the front of our car) and it lasted for a good hour.

We went to the Wrestling Hall of Fame Museum. Ben LOVED it. Me on the other hand, I am usually pretty tolerable to Ben and his wrestling passion/obsession. But the hall of fame was a little much for me. I had made it half way through the museum and Ben was still on the first exhibit reading every little thing.
I did learn an interesting fact about wrestling that Ben didn't know. Cael Sanderson (the man we are naming our first born son after) will not be coaching at Iowa State next year, he is going to Penn State (who even new that they had a wrestling program). Ben was a little disappointed about that news.
We also went the Oklahoma City bombing memorial. It was completely intense/touching, no words could describe it. The chairs in the picture represent all the people killed in the bombing.

While we where on our mini vacation something had attacked by bird house. I think it was our fat hungry birds.
