On Sunday, our family hit the road for a little day trip to Tulsa. The plan was to go to Golf Galaxy, a golf store that Jim had been wanting to go to--and it carried a variety of kids clubs. We are getting Christian his own set of golf clubs for his birthday this year. 6 years old is the minimum age to be able to play golf in Bella Vista. Christian can't wait to play golf with his dad! He already loves to practice his putting skills with Jim and head up to the putting greens at the golf course next to our house.
We also went to the Oklahoma Aquarium to see lots of fish and sea creatures!
To save time and money, I packed our lunches before heading out on our trip.
As a piled all of our bags by the door, I realized how cute our lunch bags looked sitting all together. So I took a picture...cheesy I know.
We timed the car ride around Andrew's nap times and it worked out great. He takes a morning nap from 8-10am, so we drove to Tulsa during the morning hours. We got to Golf Galaxy right after Andrew woke up and he was ready to run around!

The staff at the store was very helpful in getting Christian fitted to his own set of clubs.
He even got to try them out in the store with their golf simulator machine.
Andrew picked out a putter and walked around the store with it. He really liked watching his big brother practice his golf swing too! He just watched in awe. ;)
The store had a big putting green to try out different putters. Andrew loved carrying the golf balls around, putting them in the holes and getting them back out again.
After Golf Galaxy, we ate lunch before heading to the Aquarium.
Christian loved the Aquarium! It had a great variety of fish and sea creatures! Jim's favorite were the little "Nemo" fish. My favorites were the sea horses and baby turtles. The shark tunnel was really cool too! Overall the Oklahoma Aquarium was ok. I thought it would be bigger and have more big tanks instead of lots of little tanks. Inside, it was kinda hot and stuffy with a faint smell of body odor from all the hot people. I read online that you should bring a jacket as it may be cold. Not so much. If it had been more cooler and deodorant was a requirement at the door, it might have been more pleasant. But Christian said his favorite thing was... "everything"!
He really had a great time!

Andrew did well in the stroller as we made our way around the Aquarium.
Andrew wearing a crab hat...don't think he liked it but I thought it was super cute.
We finished up there just in time for Andrew to be ready for an afternoon nap. So we loaded up and headed home. Christian, Andrew and I all slept on the way home! Once we arrived back in Bella Vista, it started to rain...and we REALLY needed the rain. So glad we missed the storms on our drive home.
We all had a fun time on our mini trip to Tulsa!
