the weather was unusually warm...73 degrees on december 26th!!! so i thought it would be fun to go on a little road trip with the varmints and show them the blue whale in catoosa, after all it's history just a few miles away!
i was so excited about sharing this experience with them that i did something i have NEVER done in my entire life........i locked my keys in the car!!! of course i remembered to get my camera! i even took the keys out of the ignition and put them in the exact place i always put them in my purse AND tucked my purse under the seat so no one could see it! then, i locked the doors like i always do. i didn't even realize what i had done until we went back to the car to get in!
there was no one else there, so we had to go find a phone. right as we started walking we saw a police officer. we flagged him down and asked him if he could help us, and all he could do was call a wrecker. i said no thanks! so we trekked down the road to lil' reasors and the guy there smiled when i told him what happened and dialed the preacher's number for me.
on our way back to the blue whale, we passed a yard with this sign posted on it. i thought it was funny...
we only had to wait about 30 minutes before the preacher came and rescued us. much to my surprise, the boys wanted to keep going on our little road trip so we stayed on route 66 and headed to claremore. i had never been there before so it was exciting for me! we found several antique stores there which the boys actually enjoyed going in (another surprise). since we weren't far from foyil, home of the world's largest totem pole, we decided to keep going. it was getting dark so we knew we wouldn't be able to go in, but spencer and i agreed we should check it out just to see if we should come back another time.
this totem pole was literally in the middle of nowhere right in someone's back yard!! no kidding! there is a house and the totem pole is RIGHT THERE!
even though it was kind of weird being in someone's yard, we decided to definitely come back someday and check out the inside. we had a fun time despite the little mistake with the keys. every time we stopped somewhere after that, spencer reminded me to get them!
