We went to the see the USS Batfish for my oldest’s 8th birthday last week!

I thought the boys might find it interesting, I was wrong.

They were ecstatic!

You get to go inside the Submarine!

I came here when I was young, which made it a bit nostalgic for me.

Definitely excited…

It is amazing how interesting all the buttons are to boys.

I am pretty sure I could never stay in one of these.

I like wide open spaces…

No windows people.

I need windows.

I am so glad we went to this!

They both had a blast!

We headed to Lake Tenkiller to swim afterwards but I thought this post had enough pictures already.

I will share those later.

Last Day as a 7yr old! I dropped the ball…

I realized today that my son turns 8 tomorrow.

I remembered his birthday at least but I forgot to take his birthday week pictures!!!

I have been taking a picture of my boys every day on the week before their birthday for 3yrs.

Except this year because I forgot!

I know!

Shocking!

and a bit terrifying…

happy

but at least I remembered on his last day!

This kid amazes me in his ability to invent.

He decided to study anatomy today so that he could build a human like robot.

He has also taken up running and he is awesome!

Like a fish to water that boy runs like he was born to it.

He ran his first race this past year and loves the medals and “junk food” at the races.

I am pretty sure he is going to be my crazy ultra runner keeping up with his dad.

I am writing it here so I can come back some day and say that I called it!

I can’t wait to see what this soon to be 8yr old does next!
