Fabulous Army Life

Two of my boys on the 18th hole of the Fort Sill golf course, hanging with Saint Barbara!

Who knew you could white-water raft in the middle of downtown Oklahoma City? We had a great time with our two new friends, Mackenzie and Jennifer, and our guide, Hannah, was a total white-water rafting rock star! We made it through the loop five times and only managed to lose one rider, "swimmer" Nate, one time. This is so much fun; I wish we'd tried it out sooner. My eldest wants to try the white-water kayaks (almost guaranteed to "flip" or "roll" during the excursion) but I'm happy with my big ole raft. They also turn down the rapids for tubing which looked like a lot of fun, too.

So we're in Bricktown and the boys are hungry (as per usual). We see that Kevin Durant's restaurant is close by and we're always fans of sports grilles so we made our way to KDs. We're not sure what the restaurant will be like, especially in light of KD's recent departure from the OKC Thunder. Honestly, we half-expected to see either boarded-up windows with graffiti or a big ole "CLOSED" sign. Neither were apparent as we approached and we entered a very nicely decorated restaurant where we enjoyed good food and excellent service. The impact of Kevin Durant's departure from the area hadn't hit this place yet! I did read up on Yelp as we waited for our food and laughed out loud at a couple of these entries:
