Will Rogers

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!

Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History

For Father’s day we headed to Oklahoma City to visit the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History.

My husband likes doing things together so I thought it would be a perfect Father’s day outing!

Plus, father’s got in free!!!

It was $5 total for all of us to get in (my boys were free)!

I was not sure what to expect but it was amazing!

Lot’s to see and touch!

My boys loved it!

There was something in every area that the boys could touch or interact with.

And a lot of dinosaurs!

Of course my boys did not care about that part…

Boys do not like dinosaurs, right?

They have an Asian dinosaur exhibit going on right now.

It included a scavanger hunt!

My oldest loved it!

He kept saying, “I am a SCIENTIST!”

My oldest also loved the touch screens.

We all ended up having a good time!

My oldest asked as we were leaving when we could come back again.

I think it was a hit!

Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve ~Oklahoma

We went to Woolaroc during their Spring Traders Encampment.

I wanted to make sure we had as much to see as possible.

There was actually too much! This place is huge!

1st stop, Spring Traders Encampment.

So much fun!

I love events like this.

They have a lot of interesting things for sale.

My boys favorite things are the weapons of course…

I want a hiland cow!

So cute!

We of course took advantage of their nature trails.

They were very nice!

There are a couple of miles of trails.

One of our last stops was the museum.

It was very large with a lot to see.

There really is something for everyone!

It is located 12miles south west of Bartlesville, Ok.

Totally worth the drive!
