That is a small town!!!

Now why would I blog about this little town w/ the average annual income is $17,000... Well I was telling my friend over at Thoughts Right Now  that I thought old abandoned properties were interesting with all the history that is occasionally left behind. She then told me about this website called Abandoned Oklahoma. 

Again you'r probably still wondering why Skedee out of all the places on that website ...well I've been there...ONCE!! When I was going to school in Stillwater, OK -about 1999- we would go on country road drives....we would find a dirt road (which was easy to do) and just take it out of town...sometimes ending up in Kansas w/o even realizing in until we found a major HWY and headed back home.  Well one time on a drive we had to stop b/c there was a cow in the middle of the road....as we inched around it we noticed the small town so we drove down the one street that contained houses just looking around....as we drove by this one house a pig....YES A PIG...comes running out of a driveway chasing us like a dog would!!! And that is why I remember Skedee, Oklahoma!!!

this was the school at one time

If you look that check # 637 was dated in 1970!!!

I think this is an awesome photograph!!

See de Fish!!

So about two weeks ago my girls and I all happen to have the day off of work and school...which never seems to happen by chance...so we decided to head out of Normandy and up to Jenks, Oklahoma which is just south of Tulsa.. We had such a blast!!! We were very lucky b/c it just happened to be feeding day for the sharks!!! We also got to see the piranha, electric eel and some spitting fish feed as well. We all took tons & tons of pictures both w/ out cameras and phones... Callie and I were quite impressed with the quality of the iPhone camera!!

I have like a zillion pictures!! These are a few of my favorites!!!

The jelly fish were my favorite!!

Many Nemos....

Lionfish

SEAHORSES FOREVA!!

blowfish 

 

Pretty stuffs....forgot what they were called

this turtle weighs about 120 something lbs ... they said that its a pound for every year of it's life....so its over 100 years old!!!!!

We also got to see these lovely beavers and some otters which were the cutest little things ever ...but way too fast for our cameras!!

After all the fish watching we were quite famished so we left the aquarium in search for food for ourselves.. after driving in a complete circle we ended up at Los Cabos Mexican Grill and it was the best Mexican food I have had in a VERY long time...I so wish we had one closer to us then in Jenks...
