June 29, 2015 

We left Albuquerque, New Mexico around 8am. We wished we had time to enjoy all of the awesome amenities at the Central KOA but we were only resting our heads over night after spending the evening at cousin David and Jamie's house. I won't be reviewing the KOA. We have very little to go on but it was a beautiful lot with some pretty cool amenities.

We had a pretty easy day ahead of us. We were all eager to get to Oklahoma to see Great Grandma Baggett and Grandma Baggett. Josh and I decided to play the game "Rubberneckers" on our 7 hour drive. It was pretty difficult to play this object spotting game when you are literally in the middle of nowhere! We had to find a car with 3 passengers, something advertising coke, a firetruck, a city line sign and a PAYPHONE just to name a few. Believe it or not Josh won the game (surprise, surprise). The drive from NM to Oklahoma took us through Texas. I must admit I was nervous driving the unknown during our travels. We had nothing to worry about at all. We had open road and some of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen. Just as we pulled into Texas, I had a little tap-tap on my shoulder. Colin was so excited to tell me he LOST A TOOTH IN TEXAS! We really hoped the tooth fairy would find us in Oklahoma.

We arrived at Buffalo Bills RV Park in Lawton, OK. After we unloaded and contacted our family we met Josh's mom at her home and had a tour of her new place. We then took her out to dinner at one of our hometown favorite places, Applebee's.

Day 21

We left Arizona in the morning to make our next over night stop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Took us about eight hours, but we finally made it. The best part of the day was getting to go see Dad's cousin David and his wife Jamie and their super cool kids. We had some real New Mexican food, which was pretty spicy, but very delicious. My favorite food we tried was called.... umm i don't remember, but Jamie told me that it is translated into little pillow. They were like little pastries that you are supposed to rip a little piece off of and pour honey inside, super yummy stuff!!! We had an awesome time talking to David and Jamie, telling them about our adventures and learning more about each other. The kids had a blast playing, Peter and Joseph, the baby twins, slept pretty much the entire time we were there so we didn't really get to see them, but Colin and Charlie had a great time playing with Eva and Elijah. We talked for hours, enjoying each other's stories and just catching up.  I think the most interesting thing I learned was that Jamie lived in Japan the majority of her childhood, talk about cool!! We parted with sweet sorrow, knowing we would see each other again in a few days at the Voss Family Heritage Days.
