glacier_kittyYesterday Aunt Gina and I went "lake hopping" haha. There are 4 lakes around here but we only had time for 3. Then we went back to the hotel and mom came back soon after. We drove to Norman, had dinner, and drove to the college. Emily was waiting for me and we hung out for a couple of hours. She showed me around the campus, her dorm and we walked down to the river. I had to leave cause there was a storm and mom didn't want to get caught in it. Some of the lightning was sweet haha..it wasn't a bad storm though
Lake Hefner haha
It hissed at us! Haha
Gina
Lake Overholser :P
Overholser's dam. You could hear the wind whistling through it. Gina called it "the music of the dam" haha
The end of the Oklahoma River (the map shows it going into the lake. Though it apparently goes on further into New Mexico according to another map)
Lake Arcadia. We couldn't find a way to drive around it though..
Emily!
That's their library haha
Pic of the day:
Drive to Florida in 2005. Ruth and her son Christopher came with us (they went to her parents' house)
Fairbanks: The largest city in interior Alaska began as a trading post in 1901. A year later, a gold strike spawned a boom town. It was named for a then-powerful US senator named Charles Fairbanks, who was later Teddy Roosevelt's vice president. Fairbanks serves as a transportation and shipping hub and government center for the Interior, and is home to one of the major campuses of the University of Alaska. Residents of the Fairbanks area, who number nearly eighty thousand, think of all other Alaskans as Outsiders
