Taking Shelter!

Today as the school day was winding down the Tornado sirens went off... mayhem ensued and we were on the move to the "tornado safe" area of the building!  After all the kids had left and we were getting ready to go the sirens went off once again and a few tornados touched down just a few miles north of us... EDMOND HIT WITH TORNADO.

Hanging out in the hall with everyone that got stuck between the two tornado warnings.

Stone, me and Alex waiting to move again...this time to the nursery so we could sit front of the TV!

Day 7- Route 66

Today we decided to hit Route 66 for a while...

 

First stop POP's... they have over 500 different bottles of Pop... 

non- Okies that is a carbonated beverage.  It was really neat idea for a convenience store! 

 

They even had ラムネ (RAMUNE), a favorite drink from Japan.  　

 

Our next stop on the "tour" was the Round Barn in Arcadia.  It was built in 1889...amazing that is it still standing and in such great condition!  

 

While in the Round Barn we met an 80 year old man who shared a wealth of information with us and he told us to head a little further east down the road and we would hit his property and on his property sat an old filling station... WOW!  The architecture was amazing... and it is still standing after all this time!
