Will Rogers Birthplace and Museum

While camping on Oologah Lake we went to the Will Rogers Museum and his Birthplace Ranch up there.

I found a great deal for the museum on groupon which we have used before also. So if you are wanting to go, you might want to check there first.

They were having a special family day so they had some hands on activities for the kids!

The girls enjoyed grinding corn and watching butter be churned.

When you have kids with allergies there is always a bit of disappointment that comes when food is around (they were letting people try the butter) but it was still interesting.

The basement has a little kids area.

We drove over to the ranch on the next day.

It is such a beautiful place.

My kids loved the animals.

Even the ones that escaped their pens 😉

These goats had knocked off a board and would come and go as they pleased. Ha

I really enjoy learning about Will Roger and his family and the ranch is like a peaceful retreat.

Have you been to the museum or ranch? I think he is a great part of Oklahoma history.

The Floor is LAVA!

My kids enjoyed checking out the new exhibit at the Tulsa Children’s Museum! It is kind of a parkour obstacle course. My oldest was the only one tall enough to reach the top. Basically all of his door frame climbing finally came in handy. The ropes area seemed to be a favorite. My kids used hot glue guns in the lab.

It kind of freaked me out, don’t get any ideas kids…

I even let the girls do it!

Not my house so basically not my mess…

Ha

Do you have an obstacle course lover?

You should check out Discovery Labs new exhibit while it is here.
