Boys Night Out – April Edition

Lets see, last Tuesday in April, that means that Sweetie is heading off to her monthly Book Coven Club and SuperPizzaBoy and I have our monthly Boys Night Out.

It’s a school night so we can’t stay out too long. SPB had a pizza party with some of his buds so we aren’t going to eat anywhere. “What do you want to do SPB?” “Lets go plant a cache Dad.” The little dude doesn’t have to tell me twice. We keep the makings on hand.

Here is before:

Isn’t camo duct tape wonderful. Mother’s Day is coming soon!! In case you are looking for an idea. Camo duct tape is an example of a bad idea.

So we loaded up and headed off for downtown to a spot I’ve scoped out before. It was going to be the site of our new library until my fellow citizens voted down the bond issue. So SPB and I are using it for its highest and best use: Geocaching.

SPB is in charge of cache security, video game playing, and camera mugging.

Here is the final hide. Do you see the cache container?

No? Good!

Celebrate a successful placement with ice cream for me and a milkshake for SPB.

(A rare Yogi smile with teeth. SPB wouldn’t give me the camera back until he saw teeth.)

And then we finish up at the bookstore. Another BNO tradition, I buy any book he wants (no videogame cheat books!!)  Little guy loves to read.

It’s dark, it’s late, its a school night, and it’s time to go home.

I filled out the cache application. Maybe it’ll be approved today!! SPB and I have now hid 28 geocaches.

Looking forward to May’s edition of Boys Night Out.

Boy’s Night Out – Hideaway Pizza and Oklahoma Aquarium and then some Ice Cream at Braum’s

Last Tuesday Night was Sweetie’s monthly book group meeting so SuperPizzaBoy and I enjoyed our monthly Boys Night Out.

To eat? What else, we had pizza. This time at Hideaway Pizza at 81st and Harvard.

SPB had the pepperoni, of course.

Just in case you ever join us on Boys Night Out, you should know that we don’t share the pizza’s. Just so you so know. We rated the pizza’s at Hideaway as four stars out of four.

Afterwards we headed over to the Oklahoma Aquarium across the river from Tulsa in Jenks. They had a promotion going on where they were staying open late that evening and admission was half price. SPB and I love a deal, and that’s a deal.

The Aquarium is quite popular and it can get crowded on the weekends and hard to get close to the exhibits. Tuesday night we had the place to ourselves. Check their web site. They have promotions like this during the year. Off peak is wonderful.

They have several touch pools. On weekends you have to wait in line. Not tonight. Step up. SPB loves the touch pools.

They have loads and loads of exhibits. It can be mentally exhausting but we looked at all of them.

SPB wasn’t mentally exhausted by the time we finished. He was ready to wrangle alligators.

The Oklahoma Aquarium is rated four stars out of four. Its a must see if you ever get to the Tulsa area.

We were hungry so we went to Braum’s for some ice cream. I had the double of the double chocolate chunk cappuccino.

SPB had the Rocky Road

Of course we were immediately ratted out on Facebook by a friend of Sweetie’s. I tell you what a couple guys out on town need a little space in order to have a little fun. Reminds me of high school in Eagar, Arizona. If I ever decided to pocket my lunch money and spend it on something else, my Mother was fully briefed by six other moms by the time I got home. That was before cell phones, the internet, texting, and all that.

Anyways, Boy’s Night Out was a four star affair.
