Lil' Poke Visits OSU

Ayson had his first, of what I'm sure will be many, trip to Stillwater today!  I had to turn in some papers for graduation (that's right, I will be graduating in December...whoop!), so we headed to Stilly to take care of business, and have a little fun too :)

Of course, no trip to Stillwater would be complete without a trip to Joe's.  Whenever we lived in Stillwater, we always hated eating at Joe's, because everyone who came to visit always wanted to eat there.  But now that we don't get to Stillwater that often, nothing sounded better than a burger and fries.  

Going out to eat with Ayson is usually not an enjoyable experience because he has a 10 foot reach and ants in his pants, so I was nervous to try this by myself, but he was actually very good the whole time! 

I wanted to introduce Ayson to the heavenly goodness of cheese fries, but since it was just me and little man, and they don't make small orders of cheese fries, we stuck with plain 'ole fries...but they were still yummy!

Once we had a full belly we headed to campus.  I had to laugh at myself trying to navigate campus with a stroller...I had to find some new routes to get where I was going :)  Ayson had so much fun people watching, and looking at everything around him!  On our way to the JB building we went through the gardens outside the student union.  The flowers looked so pretty and Ayson was dying to get out and stretch his legs, so we stopped for a few pictures.

Leaf bandit!

So cute!!!!  Go Pokes!  We instill "ORANGE POWER" at an early age in our house :)

It was a perfect day, except we really missed Aaron.  So, we went to visit him at the hospital tonight before Ayson went to bed.  Less than a year left of these long days and crazy hours for Aaron, and we can't wait!!!!
