By the time we crossed the state line into Oklahoma, we were very hungry. So we drove to the biggest
McDonald's in the world. The reason it's the biggest McDonald's is because the building could hold many people, more than any other McDonald's in the world. My friends ordered me a cheeseburger 
with extra pickles, yum!

While we were leaving my friends heard
on the TV 
that there was a storm 
coming. The weather men were predicting snow 
and freezing rain, so we hurried in the car 
to find a hotel room 
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The next morning, December 21, it was raining. I was sad because I wanted to see 
the sights outside my window. Here is a picture 
of me looking out the window 
from our hotel room in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
My friends got a free breakfast 
with their hotel room, which they were very excited about. So we ate some cereal, packed up the car, and headed for Oklahoma City....
This is a picture of my friend Heather and I at a rest stop in Oklahoma. (Hint: I'm the spider!)
My friend Ian wanted to visit the place where a mean man named Timothy McVeigh put a bomb and blew up a building. Many people were hurt and killed when the bomb blew up. Most of them were working and some of them were children in a day care center.
Since it was raining, Carrie put me in her back pack while she walked around where the building used to be. This is a picture that Carrie took.
It made me very sad. People had put pictures, poems, and flowers 
on the fence around the building, in memory of their relatives and children that were killed. They looked like my friends and other people I know. I didn't understand why someone would hurt so many people. My friends didn't know either.
We were very quiet as we drove away towards Amarillo, Texas. I want to tell everyone in Oklahoma City that we're very sorry that such a bad thing happened there.
