2007 Holiday Travels, Part 3
The end of our Holiday travels... back to Broken Arrow for a few days with Amy's folks before heading back home.
Oh, and there are a few embedded movies in this page... as usual, if they don't show up where they should, just hit refresh and they ought to find their correct spots.
The Pooping Man.
I think the yard was really wet, so we left the dogs inside while we ran errands. Apparently, they heard us pull up.

Bathtime in the sink!
Um guys? A little privacy?
Hahaha! How cute is this? Amy captured this nice coincidence!
Watching football with Papa H.
Dogs love road trips. Where to this time? Back east to Nixa, MO, for a coupla days with Amy's brother Brian, and their family.
Kaiden contemplates the hallucinegenic lightning bug.
"Um, guys? I can't seem to make it up the stairs."
Check it out! Christmas again!

Merry Christmas (again)!
Secretly, he likes it.
Trash time.
Ok, maybe not the lacy scarf.
Time to inspect...
The tiny baby feet!
He is unamused.
Maybe even a little concerned?

The neverending battle between Bear and Jackson.

And Kaiden is hypnotized by the enormous musical tree.
Awww! Cold noses!
Oh yeah... can't miss out on the winter time food!
See? Alex knows what's up.
Sign reflected in the still lake.
Overload!
What's this?

Of course, barrel-shaped butt massagers!
Like, OMG, it's so cold here!
What's the best ride in the winter, when it's too cold for all the roller coasters?
You know it...
Fire... in... the Hole!

This movie's about 3 minutes long... it's the whole Fire in the Hole ride, for you to memorize and enjoy!
Amy gets some chow!
Half the group left, but Alex and Amy and Kaiden and I stayed around.
Although not all of us were awake!
The line was long, but Kaiden got his first SDC Christmas train ride.

This one's really long... the whole 14 minutes of the train ride. The movie gives a good view of all the lights in teh park, and the guy's dialogue at the midway point was nice.
Merry Christmas!
A last shot of the tree,
and the entrance, and we called it a night. What a great place at Christmas!
Ok, back to Tulsa. Along the way is Buffalo run, a casino with a giant plastic roof.
Flappin' in the wind.
Clayton's yard had some pretty good tree damage.
Ride time! Eric met me at Turkey mountain, and we pretended we weren't cold.
Liars!
Yeah, I don't know.
Trail break.
Voodoo you. Check out the handmade rotors.

Ramblin' back from the trail.
Snxxxxx. Holidays are exhausting!
This was taken on December 31st. Come on, people. It's 75 days away.
Waaaaa! Creepy baby!
Oh man! The evil eye... it burns! it burns!
New Year's Eve, with Trudy and Earle, and others...
Shrimp!
Jim (Cathy's), Earle and Trudy.
Kaiden contemplates the shrimp.
Then enjoys some bouncy-seat action,
while Bear and Katy destroy their brand new basketball.
Awww! Personalized butt-flap PJs!
Getting... so... sleepy...
Getting... so... sleepy...

The television highlight of the evening was this redbull-fueled athlete jumping a world record distance on his motorcycle.
The non-television highlight of the night, was Clayton opening this particularly stubborn bottle of champagne, captured in the short clips below...
