Tulsa Tough

We hit Tulsa Tough again this year on the Friday night in the Blue Dome District.  We grabbed dinner at Dilly Deli before which was a pleasant experienced where we all enjoyed our meals.  We brought our cow bell and the kids took turns cheering on the riders.  We have a friend that races in a later race and the kids made it until he raced about 8pm.  The race was about an hour and our friend finished well – certainly it was due to our cheering!  Ben got to enjoy sitting with a friend for a while and Elizabeth enjoyed receiving some goody bag items that were being handed out.  Our family loves this event and we look forward to it each year.  Shortly after this fun event, the Tour de France starts and the boys are glued to the TV for 3 weeks straight watching for the various jersey colors.  Ben has become more detail oriented as he watches sports and is really enjoying the finer aspects of each sport.  He followed certain cyclists and new some of their “stats” and tracked who had the various jerseys each day and who got injured.  He was spouting off names that Mom had never heard of and she quickly figured out that she wasn’t able to keep up.  Luckily, Dad can dish out the stats and facts too, so the boys just go at it and entertain each other with all of the cycling trivia.
