We took a family photo outside the Bizzell Memorial Library (where the rare books collection is located).

This was cool! It is a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa built by the engineering students at OU. You will want to check out a You Tube video that I have linked at the bottom of this blog post to find out more about this.
You can see it in action here...

We enjoyed our time at the library so much that we stayed way past lunchtime! We finally split into two groups to go find food. My group went to a neat little restaurant near OU campus called the Service Station. It was indeed an old service station that was remodeled into a restaurant. They had so many different types of burgers on their menu... all interesting! It was hard to choose! I had the Rolls Royce with lots of mushrooms. Yum!

Saturday evening found us back at Kerry and Candace's house for some yummy BBQ from Vans.
Brianna was excited to discover the reading nook that Kerry and Candace have in their living room. She climbed in there to work on some schoolwork.

We 'oldies' left the younger generation playing Matthew's game that he created. It has been so fun to watch the process of creating and tweaking this game over the last 8 months.
