Visiting Norman Oklahoma (by William)

For our winter vacation, we went to Norman, Oklahoma because my mom and dad first locked glances there.  They were both in OU when they started having a crush on each other.  Also, Norman was the place where my mom and dad got married. 

My deepest memories at OU were mom’s old apartment on the campus.  Dad’s apartment had already been torn down.  Well that is too bad and sad.  We also went to the very big, fancy, and beautiful Student Union building where I took a lot of pictures for them and also played the piano.  The union had flowers, many rooms, sculptures, historical photos, and a big food court.  From outside, the building looked old fashioned (built with red bricks) with a clock tower.  Other deep memories include the bookstore full of very good souvenirs, clothes, and books.  Finally, the fancy library--I found my mom’s dissertation there.  It was a very good experience to go there.  

OU Campus

I also made new friends in Norman.  Ethan, who was not too new to me since we have been blogging together, and our moms knew each other since they went to OU.  Ethan is 3 months older than me and can do many many things well.  Violin, canoeing, fencing, boxing, and knows a lot about the states and countries around the world.  He made me laugh after we got back to their house from visiting OU.  Ethan said that all he did were long, hard chores while we had all the fun at OU.

Ethan's Boat

I befriended Ryan first when going to his house to practice piano because he plays the piano too.  He is 9 now.  He is tall and very sweet looking.  He does hockey and piano wonderfully.  He also has a dog named Fetcher and Ryan loves him.

Andrew and Daniel are brothers.  Andrew is 9 and Daniel is 7.  They are really hot in sports.  They made me laugh by saying lets burn all our fat.

I really liked my new friends and hope that I can visit them again.
