Oklahoma City Get Away

We left on Sunday for a little get away trip.  The weather was really nice with little wind, so we decided to hit the OKC Zoo first.  We enjoyed the new children's zoo which had a slide for the kids to go down and a rope ladder to climb up.  After the zoo, we went to the Lego store at the mall.  Ben has been saving up for a very long time to purchase the Batman Bat Cave.  Dad added some money to Ben's fund so he could finally purchase it.  We put this together in different segments at the hotel.  The hotel was nice and enjoyed the hot tub and pool.  On Monday, we went to the Oklahoma Science Museum.  Sam waited for about an hour and a half so that he could make a harmonogram which is a swinging board with paper on it.  There is a wooden arm in which to insert a marker of choice and it swings back and forth, thus making the art.  There was also a very tall tree house which had a twisted slide to go down.  Dad and Ben went down the slide several times.  The ladder was probably about 50 feet tall. 

Little Drummer Boy

Yesterday the termite inspector (referred to by Ben as just the "Inspector") came to do his yearly inspection of the house. This involves taking everything out of our bedroom closet so he can get to the crawl space for the addition part of the house. Ben never knew that hole was there under the carpet. He insisted in playing his drum near the hole, so the "inspector" would know where the exit was.
