family fun day

today was such a nice day!  the boys' soccer games were cancelled because of the rain last night, so daryl and i slept in until 10:00!!!  i can't believe the boys were quiet that long!  since the games were cancelled, we didn't have any plans. so i suggested a family road trip. 

my growling stomach chose our destination....i was craving chinese food, so we all loaded in the car and drove to bartlesville to eat at hunan super buffet.  daryl and i discovered this place a few weeks ago when we were out on a date.  it was so good then, that we didn't mind the long drive to go eat there again!  it was even better today.

since we were in bartlesville, spencer said he wanted to see price tower {the only skyscraper designed by frank lloyd wright}.  why he wanted to see it, i don't know.  but the rules of our road trips are to go somewhere you've never been and see things you've never seen, so that's where we went. {of course AFTER we took this picture we saw the sign that said do not climb on this!  oops!}

after that we drove around for a while finally ending up in skiatook, ok.  there's not much in that little town except an awesome antique store called the antique depot!  we weren't planning on antiquing today even though i really wanted to.  we actually passed the antique store but spencer wanted to go in it! so daryl turned around.  yay!!!  

there were all kinds of hapPy things in the antique depot:

the coolest thing i found at the store was spirograph from 1967!

spirograph!

the boys had no idea what this was, and i couldn't wait to show them!  as soon as we got home {and the boys cleaned their rooms....MAJOR ordeal for mr. colby....} we created awesome pictures with our new spirograph!

I loved my spirograph as a kid! I bought one for a birthday gift a while back, but I'm sure it was as cool as the original! Sounds like a fun day!

Wow! You hit the jackpot yesterday! Great Chinese food and an antique store! Awesome. I had a spirograph when I was a kid too, and I loved it! I hope your boys had fun with it.
