Day trippers

In an attempt to get out and keep busy, I did a little research about what Oklahoma has to offer in the way of adventure. My research led to a little day trip to Enid and Jet, OK to go on a little treasure hunt. I think the rising summer temperatures scared off everyone who said they wanted to go with us, so it was just me and the kids and the open road. We followed my "treasure map" to the salt plains where we got muddy digging for selenite crystal treasures. After that we cleaned up a bit and headed back into town (Enid) to meet up with a friend of mine. E was in heaven when he found out he could get a sticker for locating the hidden treasure at Leonardo's Discovery Warehouse. After being in the sun all day we cooled down with some snow cones. Before leaving town we headed over to Meadowlake park where we played until the old amusement rides opened up. We rode the carousel, cars, and planes then headed back to OKC. It was a super fun day, and now I feel like we officially DID Enid, OK. Hot or not, everyone who backed out sure missed some good times.
