well - if you keep up with papa's thing here,,,Im back in OK. Mary and Tim took me to the airport at 4:30 mon..Karen picked me up in Tulsa and we drove straight down to Jefferson TX. My uncle Bob passed away from cancer last Friday.Karen and I made it to the viewing Mon night only to find out that aunt Dorthy had passed out earlier and all the family was in the hospital with her. So Karen and I were the only family there -so we greeted everyone and told them what we knew. Aunt Dorthy was ok and the Funeral was yesterday -Tue- and after some family visiting and good food we drove back to Tulsa getting here around 11pm. I will rest here for a few days and Sat will go to an OU football game with Karen and Jason. The game is 7pm. Will fly back next Sunday evening - late.. Nice having time to do these things. Hope everyone is well and Rob has power back - it is 105 here today - yea,,,

Well this was my free room in San Antonio - great place -hot but fun. I tried to make it to OK city but it was the worst traffic so far on my trip--from San Antonio through FT Worth..crazy traffic. in Ft Worth my phone said 102 but my car said 136...no kidding...I think my car was trying to talk to me - Get me off this stupid road!! I stopped as I crossed the OK boarder.. Will try and end up in Tulsa Friday night.. and spend a few days with Karen.....

You can see the people at the bottom - it was a big cave...this was called the big room
Oddly enough - they had this lit up but didnt have a name for it,,,,
Probably not too many signs like this one.....I came back for the Bat Flight at 7: 30..they started coming out of the cave and it lasted about 30min...several hundred thousand...eats lots of bugs...it was cool.

My first ride at seaworld. It was another beautiful day-mid 70's. The park was fun. Stayed till the park fireworks and closing at 11pm....got a day off tomorrow -will go to San Diego Old Town about a mile away...established 1769...also has a monument dedicated to the mormon battalion in about 1850..apparently the battalion did a lot for the country in the west..should be interesting --will head east Sunday to Tucson. Thank you Jen for helping with my VW tags...Im now legal..:)

Friends
Well here I am --with a silly grin on my face apparently.. the zoo was pretty cool. You couldnt see very far because they made it like you were walking in the jungle....therefore - I saw several things several times - everyone was walking around with the zoo map talking too themselves...or maybe that was just me - anyway it was cool and another fun day. Didnt take a lot of pictures - we've all seen the zoo... I did happen to walk into the sloth area just as the female was giving birth,,it was really fun watching all the zoo keepers running up to catch the action, they were laughing and giggling and reeeely excited - apparently she was pregnant when they captured her many months ago and they were all waiting for this moment....lucky me - the dad was at the bottom of the cage and apparently could care less...or maybe he is just slow to react being a sloth and all...I moved on to the baby hippo,,at least I could see him.....
