With Darya spending time with friends at a birthday sleepover, we used our super powers and headed south to a place we've never been right here in our backyard…
The Toy & Action Figure Museum in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma.
Before we launched on that scene we had to refuel so we had lunch at
Janet’s Eats & Sweets. If you have never filled your belly with her delish home cooked meals and treats you are missing out! They have daily lunch specials, where you get a choice of two of the following items: soup, salad, quiche, or ½ sandwich plus dessert. The last time I ate at Janet’s it was nestled in the back of an antique store. I must proclaim my loyalty to the Lion's Feast Salad and the No Bake Cookies! Afterall I am a Superhero!
With energy restored off we headed to explore the only
Toy & Action Figure Museum in
Oklahoma and possibly the
world! Jayden is fascinated with what Darryl and I had growing up, restaurants, toys, television shows, everything. He was amazed when he learned we only had seven channels on TV and that cartoons only came on Saturday mornings. In his young eyes that must have been torture, but in my eyes it was beautiful. Jayden is full of questions about how we grew up and on this trip we were able to show and share a little bit of our childhood with him.

Disclaimer: Superhero Jayden has been on mission, thus the poofy hair
just think of it as a helmet. |
 |
There are 10's of thousands of Action Figures,
but these full size GI Joes captured Jayden's attention the most. |
 |
| The GI Joe display was really cool, especially with Captain America on scene! |
 |
| WWE Wrestling Figurines |
 |
We spend alot ot time here playing, "I spy...." They had everything you could
imagine even Felix the Cat! |
 |
| I found my husband's undies! |
 |
| Many Superheros I have never even heard of. |
 |
| The only Mickey Mouse display that outdoes my Aunt Naomi's. |
 |
| Star Wars Chess Game |
 |
| Spidey will always be a family favorite! |
As we left through the gift shop, our son was ready to spend away! However, those toys and gifts were just a little too much IMO (in my opinion), so we left empty-handed, but God who has preordained our steps as His redeemed children had a special treat for his son Jayden that He would bring across my path the very next day at a fraction of the cost of the toys he was interested in.

A 12" full size desert GI Joe, complete with his own desert dune buggy,
boots, hat, guns, grenades and even dog tags! All for $12 from Once Upon A Child.
Now he wants an Army, one solider just isn't enough, Mom. |
What about you and your family? Have you ever visited the Toy & Action Figure Museum or Janet's Eats & Sweets? Who is your favorite Superhero and why?
