Trip to Stillwater

On Saturday we went to Stillwater to pick up Emily's pictures and to visit with Josh, Shannon, and Sam. The drumline at OSU had a performance that afternoon and we went to the rehearsal. Emily loves playing with Matt's drums at home but this was the first time she has seen other people playing them and lots of them. The drumline was performing in an auditorium and it was very loud. Emily was some what scared of it just because it was loud, but then she started to warm up to it and was clapping when they were done.

Matt wanted to check out the progress on the football stadium and so these are some of the pictures he took. It was weird being back on campus, especially with a kid now. The campus was such a mess. They are doing construction everywhere. It looked like they had knocked down a few buildings and are in the process of building new ones and remodeling some other ones too.


Here is Emily checking out the stadium and the big mess. Across the street from the stadium there is a huge parking garage that is several stories high. You can tell it is in place of where some of the houses used to be that OSU bought. There were still a few houses that they were moving. Some of them were on stilts so they could be moved to another location.

We also drove by our old apartment complex. It has gone through some major changes on that block. There used to be an apartment complex across from where we lived (it was Jefferson Commons) and in place of it is a huge shopping mall and a Texas Roadhouse. Why couldn't they have that when we lived there. Matt took a video of what is there now. It's really bad and plus the wind was blowing so hard that day.
