Oklahoma Cox Family Reunion - 2016 - Arrival Day

Once again the Cox clan has landed at The Lodge in Oklahoma Sequoyah State Park.  Of course, the last time we were here The Lodge was named Western Hills Guest Ranch.  Since we were here last there has been a major remodeling.  As we were leaving in 2014, they were starting to tear things out. It is much nicer than before but I am terribly disappointed that the bathtub was not replaced.  Also, there is still no wireless in the lodge rooms.  Only in the main rooms of the lobby area.  Oh well, I did want to spend a lot of time in that pool.

I am delighted that the entire Cole family is here.  I am so glad that our oldest grandson was able to come.  I do worry that he might get bored so we will see how things go.  We were the last to arrive as we timed our departure to pick up pizzas at Pizza Port on our way in.  Ordered 9 pizzas an hour before we were to arrive at the Pizza Port.  Told me it would be two hours.  Decided to chance it.
To our surprise the pizzas were ready 15 minutes after we arrived.  Not bad for what we were told. Pretty good pizzas.  This is the 3rd time we have picked up from the location.  The restaurant at The Lodge has been notoriously slow on Sunday evenings and this solves that problem.  Our family and the Oliver family (23 of us) gathered at Hannah and Jim's cabana for supper.  A great location as we could sit outside (in the extreme heat) and enjoy our meal.

I didn't take very many photos yesterday.  Here are a couple.  Will try to do better today.
