Last week the boys and I traveled up to the Will Rogers Birthplace Ranch in Oologah, Ok.

My five year old was over the top excited to see this place.

It all started with this Value Tales book.

In it is a short story about Will Rogers told from the point of view of his lariat!

He was a little confused later though when he saw one of his lariats and it did not have eyes…

Beautiful house.

Amazing view!

They had animals roaming around the grounds.

Caught you!

After we were done at the Ranch my oldest wanted to see more about him so we headed over to Claremore to the Will Rogers Memorial Museum.

He was so excited to see pictures and statues of Will Rogers everywhere!

There was even a cowboy that would do rope tricks for you if you asked!

I could not resist the trick rope in the museum store.

He has already been asking to go back.

I love it when a book sparks a desire to learn!
