Kim & Hallie went to Oklahoma.
Kim & Hallie went to Oklahoma to be a part of the team behind a high school youth conference for kids from churches in Oklahoma, Kansas, & Colorado. 
Hallie got to miss a day of school and hang out with the cool people.
Here’s what it looked like….. 

When you train up a child to appreciate coffee shops.

Kim’s potential wardrobe malfunction.  See the trouble? (yes, I spent a full EIGHTEEN DOLLARS on those Koss earbuds. Which is almost exactly like spending at least $100 on the really good ones. No amount of money would have prevented me from wrapping those bad boys around the hoops, however)
