We were super excited to take a trip to Texas to see our good friends, the Carlocks. They even gave us a tour of their hometown of Ardmore, OK. This was the first time any of us have ever stepped foot in Oklahoma. It was a great trip but way too short. How lucky we are to have such wonderful friends. We are already looking for a date a few short months away that we can see them again!
We got in on Thursday evening and stayed up way too late chatting with Teal and Laren only to be kept up most of the night by a toddler uncomfortable in his surroundings. (At least that's what I think it was.) Each night got better, thankfully.

| Reed loved playing with Tripp! |
On Friday, we took our time getting ready before we hopped in the car and headed for Oklahoma. In Oklahoma, we stopped at their favorite local hamburger joint, Hamburger Inn, which was incredible. We also toured a warehouse that was a funhouse for our animal-loving child. We also got to see the homes that Teal and Laren grew up in. So fun! They returned the favor of taking us to their hometown after we took them to the big city of Summerville when they came to GA two years ago.

| A little scary to me but Reed loved checking out all the animals. |

On Saturday, we hit up the State Fair of Texas and tried pretty much every fried food they had. We tasted fried oreos, fried snickers, fried cheesecake, fried twinkies, fried butter and a corndog. Needless to say, none of us should eat for the next week or so to make up for everything we ate that day.
We had so much fun with you guys! You're wonderful friends and we look forward to sharing many more memories with y'all! The house was so quiet and lonely Monday morning...miss you already.
