Road Trip Days 7-13: Oklahoma

We spent the last leg of our road trip in Oklahoma with Ethan's uncle and his family. This was one of my favorite points in our road trip. It was so nice to get to know that side of our family better and just spend quality time with them all. We kept our days busy with seeing sights, shopping around, watching movies and sharing good laughs. There were so many people around that I always had a helping hand with Kaiden and Skye. I really didn't want to leave but I knew that saying goodbye meant we were one step closer to our final destination. I took pictures sporadically so this is just a compilation of the here and there. By the end of this trip I just didn't feel like pulling my camera out for every little detail haha.(On a side note: sorry the blog posting has been a bit slow. We've been ridiculously busy and blogging takes quite a bit of time. I probably won't get into a normal groove until next month, after we close on our house and settle in. Thanks for being so patient!)We spent the first day in Oklahoma just hanging out at the house. After a ton of traveling, it was so nice just to sit around and be lazy for once.Our family took us to downtown Enid. The pic on the left is Madison sporting our Ergobaby carrier (and our baby haha.) It was actually pretty awesome walking around and seeing some of their awesome shops. "The Felt Bird" was a favorite of mine.This is a peek of the inside of "The Felt Bird"...pretty cool, huh? A lot of the stuff inside was made by local artists.Grabbing some coffee at a local, downtown coffee shop.The four of us. :) // Kaiden still doesn't know how to sip out of a straw...The coolest thing about this coffee shop was the  fact that all profits go towards different ministries. Everything you ordered was paid for by donation only. I've never seen anything like that before.The next day we went antiquing. Aunt Jill spotted a bunch of vintage toys for only a quarter a piece. Kaiden was definitely in heaven.The best part about antique-ing in Oklahoma is all the southwestern and native american things we came across. My husband actually enjoyed antiquing and spent the whole day shopping around with us. It was pretty awesome.We stopped at a local sandwich shop for a lunch break.I think Madison enjoyed coloring the kid's placemats more than Kaiden haha.And what's a day of antique-ing without grabbing some gelato?Took this lovely lady's senior pictures!They have such beautiful property. This little stream runs through the front of their yard.If we walked under the bridge we would make our way across the street where a little kids train runs on the weekends. For those of you that don't know my son, he is OBSESSED with trains.Patiently waiting the train...I love this picture Madison took of the four of us. :)Snagged these crazy, vintage pants at an antique store for a  few bucks.The bridge to their home.My guys...We ended up driving straight from Oklahoma to Georgia and I didn't take many more pictures. You can imagine how tired I was from traveling AND taking care of a toddler and newborn. I hope you enjoyed seeing the road trip pictures and I'm excited to say that our journey doesn't stop here. We have a whole new territory to discover being in the South and I can't wait to update you on it.
