No Tractor Pull instead a cave for lunch, waterfalls, dinner and casino
































I met mama for her PT appointment and follow up with the orthopedist on Friday. She was glad that I came because the doctor decided that she needs to have a meniscus repair on her knee. Poor mama is not happy about it but I told her if I had to chose a surgery it would be that one. She is going to continue physical therapy for the next few weeks and have surgery in the beginning of July. I told her I would be her personal therapist and visit them for a few days while she recovers...not that my dad can't do it..I know she is just super happy we are close for a few months. I always like to remind her no matter where I am, its closer than Japan!

Friday night Daniel and I went on a date..to a restaurant called Stouts. Good pizza, good beer, and fantastic Cinnamon rolls. I thought it was strange Daniel has been talking about this place since he got here. It was sooooo good! I love Hawaiian Pizza~! After dinner we went to the casino on the state line in Oklahoma. I had not ever been to a reservation casino. I won 80 bucks and was so happy. I joked all day on Saturday telling Daniel that was my new job!

Saturday morning Daniel had a surprise for me..we went to see the waterfalls in the area! I think he was super disappointed in them. I thought they were pretty , but not the most amazing thing I have seen before. After hiking we went to lunch at a restaurant in a cave. It was a lot of fun..nice and cool! Its right by a place to camp and rent canoes. We are going back to float.

That night was an event Daniel as been so excited about and has been telling everyone for the past 2 weeks! It was a tractor pull. Unfortunately the weather has been very bad in this area with lots of rain and tornadoes. The tractor pull was postponed!!! The pictures are from 10 min south of where we are staying. So a sad Daniel was dealt with and we went back to the Lucky J for dinner. Kylie, Brett, and a friend came up for the tractor pull and went with us to dinner. It was a again good and we got to watch a few horses run. Most of the barrel racing and team roping was over for the evening. We went back to the same casino and lost all of the $80 I had won the night before. Most of us played the penny slots and kept switching machines..no luck that night.

Sunday we slept in and had a very lazy day. It was fun to watch Dirty Jobs and Ice Road Truckers and that night we finally got around to grilling! Good food and good friends again. It was so nice to just hang out!

This week has been good..except for the few days of rain!
We discovered this week a leak in the slideouts. Tomorrow its getting looked at by the company. It makes me so mad because we have no idea now long the leak has been there and some of my stuff is molded. Nasty!! I have been drying the carpets out and checking it every so often. I know we will get it fixed even if we spend a few nights in a hotel..

Anyway its been a good week! I am ready for the current storm to pass I can feel super again! Daniel is ready for the weekend!! We are ready to play hard!!! Hope all is well with each of you!

I was suprised that cinnamon rolls were in that particular list. I never thought that cinnamon rolls and beer would ever go together!

Glad to hear you had a good weekend!
