Sophia and Elke's visit

Right after our family vacation we had visitors. Our friends from Chemnitz, Sophia and Elke, came!

They planned a 3 week trip around southwest US. Their trip began in OKC with us for a few days!

The morning after they got here our container arrived from Germany! Since the girls were jet lagged, they slept in but several friends of ours came to help us unload the container into my parents' garage.

Later that day we took the girls to the Oklahoma City National Memorial. We went into the museum first which was very moving and then we looked around outside at the memorial. I didn't get a lot of pictures on my camera but the girls got a lot so maybe I will post a few of their pics soon.

That night we went to dinner at Ed and Courtney's place. It was good to spend time with them.


The next day we took them to Bricktown in downtown OKC.

No first-time trip to the US is complete without a trip to Walmart.


At the Oklahoma State Fair


We watched the Great Plains Indian dance.





Fun picture we had made at the Fair!
