On October 10, we went to Turner Falls, Oklahoma with some friends. We parked in the lot near the entrance and walked. Our first stop was the castle. The kids seemed to really enjoy climbing around in it. Some of the stairs were steep! We […]
On September 26, I ran the Rahr Oktoberfest 5K for the first time. It was so much fun, and I got a PR! In fact, I was having so much fun that the only photo I took was the one of my watch when I […]
