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.
Right when we were parking a plane flew over our heads.
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.
Thanks for a great, kid friendly event!
You can tour the inside of the house which is beautiful.
Beautiful views of the lake though.
We walked on an old road down to the lake.
This boy was concerned that cattle were roaming and he was wearing a red shirt…
This looks like a nice peaceful scene but Mayflies were out in droves…
They would fly all in your face.
Lots of interesting colors of grasshoppers.
My youngest son took this.
