Altus, OK
So that we never forget, here are some of "our frequent places" in this dumpy little town that we called home for four years. In case the kids want to remember what it was like, where they went to preschool, etc, here it all is in one tidy spot:
Our Altus Hot Spots
Altus Christian Academy, where Isaac went to preschool.
The Reservoir where we jogged and rode bike many-a-mile
The Reservoir
The Reservoir...the part where we fed all the ducks, the most aggressive, fearless ducks I've ever encountered.
This is a typical type of amenity you would see in any and all Altus public places. Old, rusted, dirty...the charm of our dumpy little town.
The one cool public city park,
The Imagination Station
Theirs a little mini-town by the Imagination Station that's always locked and no one can use it. But for some reason they had a service project there where they requested volunteers to come help paint the mini houses. We went, as a family and painted this house. We left our mark;)
Georgie and Juliet's preschool/Mothers Day Out
Juliet's room
When we showed up to take pictures Georgie's teacher, Mrs. Len was there. She is the most jolly, dearest, most amazing, kindred spirit you could ever meet. She rushed to embrace my Georgie and I was reminded how grateful I felt in our years there that her teachers really loved her as they did all the children. We will miss that school.
Georgie's 3 year old classroom. "I love this room" she said when we entered.
Her 4 year old classroom.
The MDO playground.
OUtside the playground...Georgie says the girls spin here and they drew with chalk, traced each other's bodies etc.
OUr ward building
The view down our street. It runs right into the front door of the High School. We've played out here soooo much.
The City Park, where the Christmas lights are, where almost all Sunday walks lead and lots of hot summer days. IT's 2 blocks down from our house.
