Visiting family in Oklahoma

Your mom took a trip to Oklahoma to visit some family. She doesn't get to see them very often, because travelling that far just isn't something we can do very often, but she saved some money and got a ticket to fly out there for a week. She brought back some interesting stories, some sad, some hilarious.

Your mom grew up with this cat, Orville, who now lives with her dad.
Your mom lived in this house as a little kid growing up in Oklahoma.
Your mom's dad, and your grandpa, Gene, is showing how a small hole he carved as a kid has grown over the years.
On the left is your mom's mom, your grandma, Sharon. Next to her is Brooklyn, your mom's niece, and then your mom's sister, Pam.
Your grandma and her husband, Mark, keep this sweet donkey as a pet! Her name is Sassy : )
Near where your mom spent a lot of time growing up, your grandma Sharon and her husband have put a lot of work into building themselves a new home. It even has some of the old parts from your great grandfather's house, like the stairs!
