We were fortunate to be able to spend the day with Becca and Rodo. We have known Becca for a long time and she was our babysitter for almost 8 years! She is pretty much part of the family. Rodo is the special man in her life:) Becca now serves with <a href="http://www.back2backministries.org/">Back2 Back ministries</a> in Mexico. You can follow along on her journey </span><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://extravagantz.blogspot.com/">HERE.</a><span style="font-weight: bold;"> Here are some pics from the day:</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w6I24fu-jvw/SpIWjx6NCyI/AAAAAAAABvU/glcXsO6a840/s1600-h/img_0503.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_w6I24fu-jvw/SpIWjx6NCyI/AAAAAAAABvU/glcXsO6a840/s400/img_0503.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373382109355117346" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">We had lunch &amp; then cruised over to Pink Swirls which is a frozen yogurt place (yum!)</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w6I24fu-jvw/SpIWk1T81DI/AAAAAAAABvk/UC7Z8HKqaQ4/s1600-h/img_0508.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_w6I24fu-jvw/SpIWk1T81DI/AAAAAAAABvk/UC7Z8HKqaQ4/s400/img_0508.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373382127448282162" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Then, we picked up the boys from school and headed to downtown OKC for the Disney "A Christmas Carol" Train tour. We weren't sure what to expect but it was fun. It was completely FREE too so that rocked! They had several train cars full of costumes and footage from the set. There were Christmas caroler's and even a snow machine! They are on a 44-city tour and this was their 22nd stop.
