Barnswinging

Why are you not in California, I just googled you.

Barn swinging. Exactly as it sounds. Harness yourself and swing from rafters. This is an actual activity and there are designated places to do this. I have the urge to go barn swining right now.

As I was googling it, I came across this.. Out of 63 things that describe being a 4-state area, I am only 30 of the things. Given I am from Tulsa. Tulsa has a population of around 1 million. I also don't watch football, I feel like I should be given a break there. In reference to number one. If you are from Oklahoma you have most likely met Garth Brooks. He is a celebrity, thank you.

This may be one of the only times I ever proudly claim this. If that comes with the title of barnswinging then I am okay with it. PS Missouri is only good for one thing.
:)

Because home sweet home could be Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, or Kansas!!!
