A day in Oklahoma City--most moving! Aug. 18th

Started off cool and nice but has turned into a HOT day---the temp got up to 104--the air conditioner in the RV could not do much to make it very cool--it was cooler with the floor fan outside than to be inside---but we made it--Jack is watching football now--he is in "hog heaven"--he does love his sports---Josh is keeping him updated on the Braves--whoopee--

We went into town to the Murrah Memorial Museum--most moving--142 adults killed and 19 children killed--what a tragic event--the memorial was a really great job done in their memory--got some pics and we left a teddy bear on the chain link fence---not much, but wanted to do something--

Here are some pics that we took--

First this was a cross along the hwy coming into OKC as we were arriving---it was in the yard where a church was being built---the biggest cross I have ever seen--

Some city sky line coming in--

Starting some of the chain link fence where people has left items to recognize the dead---

These are scenes drawn by local children---showing helping hands--

This is the bear we left on the chain link fence--

This is a church across the street that helped during the confusion of the day of the bombing--

Hope you can read black plaque--the statue and plaque is across the street from Memorial bldg--

This is called "the suvivor tree"--the only tree to survive the bombing--

This is a long view of where the original bldg used to be--has on one end the time of 9:01--on the other end 9:03--the time of the actual explosion--

Heart breaking to view all of this but think of the loss of all the families--there was a wall with all the survivors' names--and they had recordings from them that you could listen to--that was most moving--film of the families trying to get to their children--hopeless--so sad--

How blessed we are in so many ways---love you all--finished dinner and ready to settled down for the night--

Hugs to you all--God Bless
