Driving down the highway with Uncle Aaron, Tristan said, "Mom, I saw a small crane with a chain on one side and a bucket on the other that was going up and down and up and down!" I started explaining what it was, but Aaron said, "If you're going to explain it to him, you should explain it right." So I asked Aaron to explain it to him. He explained that it was a Pump Jack. After they drill down to the oil, the pump jack pumps the oil up out of the ground into a storage barrel. When the barrel is full, they take it by truck to an oil refinery. Tristan asked, "If they pump the oil out of the ground, wouldn't it get dirt in it?" Aaron said, "That's why they take it to the refinery, to clean it." Tristan said, "They must be really smart people."
A few minutes later, he saw a red and white structure with a light at the top. He said, "They're almost done building that light house!" We explained that it was a radio tower and that there are no oceans or bays around here.
We saw a beaver house in the dried up creek out at Uncle Aaron's.
Tristan climbed a REAL huge tree for the first time at Uncle Alex's.
We went to the best Science Museum ever in OKC with Grandma and Uncle Tye.
It's been fun, so far. We'll post some pictures next time.

I had so much fun with them at the Science Museum too. Tristan is a lot of fun to have everywhere and anywhere. ;-)
Glad you are having a nice visit. Hello to all.
