DAY 41 Thurs. July 28
Thad got up early this morning and let us sleep so that we could miss the traffic in Oklahoma City. We decided to stop by Mcdonald's for breakfast to go. We all got our bellies full and then the kids started working on their journals trying to catch up. We drove what seemed like forever and saw a few things along the way . An hour before we made it to Texas we stared to see signs that say free 72oz steak. I just thought that was so interesting because of watching that movie The Great Outdoors. When he ate that huge steak. I looked up the rules on the internet and it was a whole meal that you had to eat. Shrimp cocktail, steak, potato, and roll. It must be a big attraction though because those signs are everywhere. It said that the oldest person to eat it was 69 and the youngest was 11.
Look at little Al Bundy...she fell asleep with her hand in her pants. After I got her to sleep I came back up front and the kids said that we had passed the Cadillac ranch. It is 6 cars almost buried in the dirt.
We made it to Oklahoma and we are still trucking down the road. There really hasn't been anything to see but it is hard to take it all in when you are trucking so hard down the road. It is getting close to time to be home and we have much choice.
Kali set up front with her daddy and she pointed to everything that she wanted me to take a picture of. She saw this truck driving backwards and said that it was so cool so I had to take a picture.
We started looking for a campsite a little past Oklahoma City so we could get miss traffic tomorrow. We found a place called Catfish Roundup RV Park. They have a restaurant and a playground and that is about it. We just need a spot for tonight so that is o.k.
We are ready to get home now, we are just driving each day and there is nothing to see on the interstate. We are starting to see more trees and grass than before. It is getting even hotter the closer that we get to home. I told Thad that it was to hot to cook tonight. We headed over to the restaurant for supper. They had a huge aquarium that had 2 HUGE catfish. It was funny because Thad ordered catfish and Kali was tore up...she kept saying that the catfish is too big to eat. She thought they were going to get it out of the aquarium.Thad and I ate everything on our plates and we took the kids leftovers home for lunch tomorrow. We headed back over to the playground and then a movie and bed.
