Tulsa Trip


Over the Labor Day weekend we went to Tulsa with grandpa Harvey and Sandie. We went to the Incredible Pizza Company and the Tulsa Zoo. Emily loved it. She really loved the hotel part. Probably because she gets to go swimming and she gets to sleep in the same bed as mommy and daddy.

Incredible Pizza Company






This is in my opinion the BEST place to take your kids. There is not one in Arkansas yet but they are working on one for Fayetteville and Little Rock, my friend is on the board and promises they will get one here soon. It is a huge complex of arcade games, golf, bowling, race cars, bumper boats, you name it. There is a huge buffet you pay for and can eat at all day, Brooks loves it. Emily has been to the one in Springfield so she knew when we came how fun it would be. The first picture is her entering the place and the look on her face is priceless

She is so cute!!

There was a game where a song is played and you have to step on the screen when the notes are played, kind of like guitar hero but you step instead. We kept telling Emily she was too little to play but that made her want to do it more. She did not even care that a bunch of people were watching her or that everyone else playing was over 14. She loved the attention and put on a show for everyone.

Golf


Of course we had to play golf too!

Bowling at Incredible Pizza





Apparently Emily is a natural bowler. She played on a toddler sized bowling lane and Brooks thought he would have to help her but she wanted to do it by herself. She must have played 5 games in all. We could not get her off of it. Notice how her hands are clasped as the ball rolls down the lane.

Tulsa Zoo





Emily of course loved the zoo, when she saw there was a train and a carousel she had to do both. She had to say "hi, how ya doing" to each animal at the zoo, and when she saw the hog, we asked her what the hog says expecting to hear "oink, oink" but instead she said "whooo pig".

Driving a Fire Engine


Emily did this at the Rogers Frisco Festival. She kept wondering when she was really going to get to drive it and seemed disappointed when she found out she could only pretend.

Emily's First Train Ride!






We rode the Arkansas/Missouri train from Springdale to Rogers on August 23rd. Emily loves trains so this was a treat for her. She loved waving to all the cars as they waited at the intersections.
