Adventure Time

So far we have jump-started the year off with some great adventures and I am excited at what the rest of the year is going to bring us.  On New Years we went to the Science Museum in Oklahoma City and I have to say we ran threw it.  My boy is like the Tasmanian Devil when it comes to places like this.  He goes from one thing to the next without even stopping to catch his breath.  The whole museum was a blur except for the train exhibit.  My boy loves trains and once you enter the train exhibit you spend the rest of your time trying to figure out how you are going to get out of the train exhibit without kicking and screaming.  We actually managed to do this very carefully by distracting him to a a bigger train that was just outside of the exhibit and then we were off to other things.  I know we missed out on a  lot of things and I am afraid my girl is the one who missed out the most.  We did split up but we still were running threw it and I think it would be very interesting to see us on the security camera.  No need to fast forward us.  Needless to say the rest of the day me and Denis were exhausted and pretty much done. 

Not all of our adventures need to take place in a museum and in fact some of our best adventures are the ones we stumble into.  Last Saturday my girl had  soccer friendlies in West Tulsa; she had two hours between games which allowed us time to eat and find us an adventure.  Denis took us to Chandler Park and down by the Keystone Dam.  What we found was a beautiful view because the park is up on a huge hill and an adventure just wouldn't be an adventure if we didn't throw some trains in there somewhere.  We hit a train crossing on a very deserted country road.  My girl is a follow the rules kind of girl and that is what I love about her, but she constantly worries and questions her parents when it comes to following the rules.  I don't consider us to be rule breakers and really we walk a pretty straight line so I don't know where this comes from, but she was a little worried that we were supposed to be on this road and so on and so on.  Once she calmed herself she was able to enjoy the passing cargo train and then we got a close up of the dam.  Really not big stuff here but it brought back memories of when we would ride our bikes in this area and do 25-50 miles.  So we were able to share all this cool stuff with our kids and they were just glued to their seats with excitement.  Our next adventure is just waiting for us and I can't wait to claim it as ours.
