Tulsa Time

Not far from our park is the Arkansas River.  We have never seen it this low and it only has this small amount of water because it has rained for almost a week. 100_2126

We couldn’t believe that the baseball field would be dry enough for Logan’s game this evening, but it was! It was very cool, so Don and I sat in the truck in the parking lot by the left field fence.  Before the game was over, which Logan’s team won, the sun came out!!  I took this picture of Steph from the truck… she’s sitting behind home plate.  Looks like a paparazzi shot, doesn’t it?100_2138

Logan in action.  He plays second base.100_2140

On his way to second base, Logan went on to score! 100_2146

After the game, we met the baseball family at the Cheesecake Factory for dinner and celebrate Don’s birthday, a few days early since we will be in Norman on his actual birthday.  Stephanie gave Don a Ninja Master Prep food and drink maker!  She has one and he’s been admiring it and dropping hints like crazy. 100_2149

My dinner:  Thai Lettuce Wraps.  Almost divine. 100_2150

Don’s Chicken and pasta.100_2151

Logan, sitting next to me, had this.  I stole one of his fries.  It wasn’t that good. (Dear Lord, forgive me for lying!)100_2152

We were, after all, celebrating Don’s birthday so he shared his Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake Cheesecake with me!  Oh my.  I may go into a cheesecake coma!

The wait staff gathered to sing happy 21st birthday again to Don.  He’s singing to himself.  LOL 100_2153

He blew out his candle easily.  I’m pretty sure he wished for a nice day for travelling tomorrow… you know, sunshine and not much wind.100_2154

We rarely get to see Madison, Rick’s daughter, but she drove in to help celebrate Papa Don’s birthday.  She is a sweetheart and it was wonderful to see her.  Taylor was at track practice and Kristina had to work late tonight.  We missed them being with us.100_2155
