OKLAHOMA!!!

Our friends, Gary & Margaret took Sam (and us) to see the outdoor performance of the musical OKLAHOMA! We had soooo much fun (thank you guys!!!). It was a very memorable experience for Sam (and us). The performance was unbelievable!! There were people from all over the country to see it, even Israel. There is nothing like seeing the musical OKLAHOMA! outdoors. Really, it was just incredible.


P.S. You will notice Sam is holding onto a half-eaten bun. We stopped at Sonic beforehand and Sam would not relinquish his bun. He must have held on to that thing for a good 45 min to an hour. He did eventually eat it. I think it was a security item for him ???

Gary took Sam to see the horses up close and personal. Sam didn't want to pet it, and seemed cautious of it. he had never seen an animal that large and up close before. p.s. the next day, on the way to church we passed a field of horses and he pointed and said "horse-wiss". (notice the bun)

we got to see this magnificent indian in his traditional dress perform an indian dance...

Sam's expression was priceless as he watched...

(notice the bun...still)

we couldn't resist...

We thought we would put sam on a statue of a horse before we tried the real thing...he did not like it one bit. (notice the bun, again)

Nonetheless, we put him on the real thing...So, Sam got to ride a pony for the very first time. He was unsure at first and just kept saying "uhhhh" and pointing at its head, but as soon as the pony started moving, Sam became really engaged, so much so that he didn't want to get off when his turn was over. (The picture is a little blury because he was in live motion at this point, and, hey...no bun...)
