Will Rogers/Wiley Post Annual Fly-in

Leave a comment

One of my girls heard about the fly-in on the radio and asked if we could go.

I had never been to one so I had no idea what to expect.

Right when we were parking a plane flew over our heads.

I think we could have left after that and my kids would have been impressed.
There was singing, impersonators, bounce houses, and tons of airplanes taking off and landing.They might have gotten hot and tired towards the end but they had a good time.This therapy dog was perfect timing.

We had just lost our dog the day before and they loved just sitting and petting her.

I loved that they told me she helps people calm down and so they were super calm while petting her.

Thanks for a great, kid friendly event!

Touring a Dam and a clear, cold creek.

I am on a mission to visit all of the State Parks in Oklahoma.

This past weekend we went to Grand Lake to visit some of the parks over there and tour the Pensacola Dam.

They give tours all summer from 9-4. So much information!

I learned a lot from the tour!

You do go where the turbines are running so it can get very loud. Our tour guide was excellent.

Such a wealth of knowledge.

Afterwards we drove around trying to find this old state park called Little Blue State Park.

We had been told it had a great wading creek that was ice cold and clear but it was hard to find the entrance.

The road is across from Disney State Park that takes you to this little park.

So pretty and worth the search.
It is not very deep at all and very rocky.

I would definitely recommend water shoes of some sort.

There were a lot of crawdads and minnows.

It reminded me of the creek we used to play in as kids.

There was a slightly deeper area but it was pretty crowded so we did not stay over there. If you want deeper water to swim in Grand Lake State Park has a swimming area nearby. We went because this kid is about to have a birthday and I wanted to go somewhere the weekend before!

Last day of being 11!

I will have a twelve year old tomorrow!
