So many beautiful buildings in Sapulpa
Great way to spend a Saturday!

Greenleaf State Park for my son’s sixteenth birthday!
When we got on the road I was thinking how that went pretty well. Then…
Not what you want to see happen while driving down the road.
I am so glad we didn’t miss this!
This kid was a great sport even though I dropped the ball on the whole reason for staying in the area. We were planning on going to the Amish Bakery for his b’day but of course they are closed on Sunday. If only someone had checked the hours beforehand…
He still ended up having a great birthday though and I wouldn’t mind staying at Greenleaf again! We did not even get any hiking in 😉
I am going to miss this ~trips to the Botanical Gardens
Sometimes I need a bit of reframing.
This trip felt overwhelming, loud, and tiring but then I looked at the posts I used to do of things I would miss about my boys being small.
And I do. I miss it.
So I decided to look at yesterday through the lens of things I would miss so I can look back on it in a few years and remember.
I am going to miss sharing these experiences with my kids.
I am going to miss them wanting to play on every loud instrument.
I am going to miss goofy smiles as they photo bomb each others pics.
I am going to miss hiking buddies.
I am going to miss the wonder and excitement of finding something unexpected.
Even if it is a venomous snake…
Most of all, I will miss seeing them in front of me. Exploring and taking things in.
One day I will walk through a garden in the quiet and miss them and the noise they make.
My two oldest are getting to the point they don’t join in on everything, their plans are changing and that means they are not always there. And I miss it.
