Water water everywhere..

Yesterday mom and I went to Bricktown..it's this district thing downtown. There are restaurants, a mile long canal, a movie theater, etc. We ate lunch at an Italian restaurant and then took a "water taxi" on the canal. The guide told us about the restaurants and stuff. Then we saw Watchmen at the theater..it was confusing and really gory. I watch gory movies but that kind of gore..ugh. Then we went and visited the memorial where Timothy McVeigh blew up the government building. The museum wasn't open cause we got there too late but outside there are chairs for the people who died on each floor. Here are some pics..

Oh yeah, Aunt Gina's coming here to visit! Aunt Julie wanted to but things came up..



More of the river :P

Pic of the day:



Eskimo yo-yo: This traditional toy is two unequal lengths of twine, joined together, with hand-made leather objects--balls, bells, hearts--at the ends of the twine. To work it, hold the longer string and whirl the shorter string. When it's twirling smoothly, throw the longer string in the opposite direction. To keep everything going, move your hand rapidly up and down. Hey, if you think understanding this explanation is hard, get a yo-yo and try it. We dare you

Wow the pictures look nice. We were going to stop at the memorial when we drove through Oklahoma, but for some reason we ended up not. I think my dad is still regretting that. I like how they have such nice-looking walkways along the river, and that's pretty sweet that they have water taxis, too. Everything looks so springy, too! Everything is still so brown here, I can't wait for the trees to be in bloom...that probably won't happen until April though.
