Going to the Circus ~Tulsa, Ok Discovery Lab

We had not been to the Discovery Lab in a while and were surprised to catch this fun exhibit right before it ended! It was all about the science behind the circus and was a huge hit with my kids! So much so that we ended up going 4 or 5 times in the week before it left. The high wire and the cables were the favorites for my twins. We even brought a friend and she loved it too! These guys went crazy in the dress up area once. So fun!!!

It is gone now but they have a fun “Floor is Lava” exhibit now that is kind of a parkour type obstacle course.

I will share more about that later!

Did you check out the circus exhibit while it was there?

Dinosaurs and hiking thanksgiving weekend

 

We headed to Norman, OK on the day after Thanksgiving to use our membership to Sam Noble Museum of Natural History before it expires. They have a new exhibit every couple of months (I believe) and right now they have Osage Wedding Dresses.

The kids love doing the scavenger hunt.

One of the statues had a spear… Their exhibits are so impressive. Next stop was Thunderbird State Park for a hike. They have a nice nature center also but it was not open. We did the Hendon’s Highway loop in the Clear Bay Area from an alltrails.com recommendation but it was a little boring for most of the kids. Most of my kids do better with something to climb on. The twins had stepped up on this bent tree so I got on to surprise them and squish them.

We all fit!

I actually preferred this day to the day before.

All the cooking was a bit stressful and the cold rain kept us inside most of the day.

Honey Springs Battlefield Reenactment 2019

History events are my favorite. The Honey Springs Battlefield Reenactment only happens once every two years and the weather was beautiful so there were a lot of people. I would have loved to go to the educational day but it is a bit far for us to do both that and the battle.

I do love how everyone is so patient though and seem to love history.

This mother getting her child ready was so beautiful.

Off to battle.It is very loud so if you have one sensitive to loud sounds you might want to bring something for their ears.They did a great job!
