Over Memorial Day we had sort of a sibling reunion at my brother's place in Oklahoma, minus my brother-in-law. My sister flew in from PA and I flew from Sacramento. We had a fantastic time hanging out and just enjoying each other's company, but we also managed to get some great food and fun around Edmond. Cheesecake Factory is a great restaurant- don't think I'd ever eaten there before. The afternoon before we met there for dinner, the guys were busy doing manly things like checking out the go-cart track and playing disc golf, while the girls went shopping and got pedicures. When we met up, Dana and Hol were talking about how nice the pedicures were, and especially the massage chairs at the salon. They said, "you guys should try it!" C and I looked at each other and immediately recognized that going with a brother would without a doubt be less embarrassing than going by yourself, with a girl, or with any other guy. So we did. I mean, hey, I was on vacation, right? Those massage chairs were pretty nice, and we even let the tiny Vietnamese girls talk us into the deluxe version with their limited English: "You need deluxe!" We were too pedicure ignorant to know whether our feet were that bad that we really did need it, or they just knew we were easy targets.
Another highlight was the water park. You can tell how much we enjoyed it in the video below. That last ride caused C to lose his voice for a week!

We spent quite a few hours on the Wii- enough to cause some muscle soreness! Half the fun is creating your profile. The similarity is quite remarkable, no?

Thanks so much for having us, C&H! You guys are fantastic hosts. Your girls are so sweet. You have a beautiful home and family. Already looking forward to next time!
Not from OKC, but just a funny pic from the pool the other day, playing with the waterproof camera.

Great pics, Sean. Brings back some fantastic memories. I was laughing so hard going down that waterslide with you guys I almost wet myself. And after all that guitar hero, I took my kids to Toys R Us to shop and ended up really impressing them with my guitar playing abilities. So thanks guys - it's not too often that I hear, "Mom, you rock!!" Christian and Holly, you guys were amazing hosts. I had the best time. I love being with you, bros!
My face hurts from smiling so much watching those vid's and pics. Thanks for spending your June working on them and posting! =)
Great times... I couldn't ask for better siblings!!
Looks like you guys had fun!
Almost a month behind in checking out your 4th pictures, but glad I did! Great seeing old friends enjoy each other! Looking forward to Christmas!
