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!

Two Rivers Trail ~Keystone Lake, OK

The Two Rivers Trail is located east of the Keystone State Park across the dam.

I have loved it since I stumbled upon it a couple years ago.

Most of it follows along the shore of the lake.

I would advise wearing pants and spraying yourself with some bug spray!

There is a lot of grass.

It is only about a mile on the part we go on but it is pretty rough hiking and so much fun!

Love hiking with my family!

Rockets Over Rhema ~Broken Arrow, Ok

We have attended Rocket’s Over Rhema for several years.

It is held by our church so I figure we really should go!

We do not usually stay for the whole thing but we do go to the patriotic tribute in the beginning.

Our Pastor’s, Pastor Kenneth Hagin and Lynette.

My favorite part!

There are live concerts going on outside.

This is the churches Axis Youth Band.

There are A LOT of people!

A small car show.

My boys were a little excited we bought them cotton candy.

I made sure it tasted okay for them.

It is the kind of parent I am.

I always go the extra mile…

My youngest lost his balloon minutes after getting it.

It took a little bit to get the lower lip to go back in.

I kept going on and on about how his balloon was flying so high.

What finally sold it was when I made up a story about a bird finding it and trying to figure out what it was.

So beautiful.

It is an amazing event, although a little bit crowded for my taste.

If you like fireworks and the excitement of big crowds, this is the perfect event for you!
