Tulsa airport field trip

For one reason or another the kids and I have not been on a homeschool field trip in a long time so we were excited to make it to this month's field trip to the airport.  It was an AMAZING field trip, they do a wonderful job.  3 hours later we knew a lot more about the airport then we did when we arrived.  The firestation at the airport was one of our favorites!

FUMC pumpkin patch

After our mom's meeting with our homeschool group a bunch of us went to the FUMC pumpkin patch.  This is something that my kids ALWAYS look forward to each and every year!  It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time visiting with friends, picnicing and enjoy the special beauty that only comes in the Fall (thank you God for these crisp fall days I love them).

12 days of homeschool

My friend Cheri posted this to Facebook and I LOVED it, we get these questions all the time!

Blackberry picking time

Every year we head out to pick blackberries at the Owasso Tree Farm and this year was a lot of fun because we went with Heritage Homeschool group.  We had a great time, picked some yummy berries and then went swimming with friends!

Woolaroc 2010

Our homeschool group planned a field trip to Woolaroc! Woolaroc was established in 1925 as the ranch retreat of oilman Frank Phillips. The ranch is a 3,700 acre wildlife preserve.
The mountain men just happened to be camping out so we visited them and learned so many interesting things from them. A couple of things we learned were how to shoot a rifle and how to throw a tomahawk. Then, we went on to the museum, had a picnic lunch and explored the property. It was a BEAUTIFUL day and we enjoyed spending time with Grammy, Devin, Paige and Brook (cousins).

Jasmine Moran Children's Museum

We had another fun field trip with our home school group and it was to the Jasmine Moran Children's Museum in Seminole, OK. We had a great time exploring and playing at the museum. I had to make it into a slide show because we took over 200 pics! We have taken the kids to this museum several times but had not been back in a long time. We had friends that lived in Seminole and we would go visit them and go to the museum but they moved to St Kitts and we haven't been back since they moved...can you imagine moving from Seminole to St. Kitts??? I would LOVE it! Anyway back to the museum, we hadn't been in a long time and they had added a whole new wing onto it and they also added a maze outside. If you are anywhere remotely close and you have kids, grandkids, or a child in your life take them to this museum and enjoy a day of playing. I promise you're gonna love it! Kylan's favorite things was playing with the sand wheel, Kenzie and her friend Peyton loved the bubble area and I loved the germ area. You put this lotion on your hands and then rub it all in and wash your hands and then hold them under a black light oh my...it's amazing what stays on your hands! Then, if you use soap it washes almost all the germs off...Kylan and I didn this over and over. Hope this helps him wash his hands more often! LOL!!! Another thing we all loved was the tornado machine it was like you were standing in a tornado and the wind went up to 79 miles per hr...very windy! They also loved the grocery store, school room, mechanic shop, courtroom, the ambulance and the cockpit from a real airplane...lots of buttons to push and play with.

Valentine fun!

Today is Valentine's Day but I'm posting earlier in the week because we are going to have a super busy weekend. Both Kenzie and Kylan are in dance competitions this weekend. We had a lot of Valentine fun this week because we knew it wouldn't happen over the weekend.

On Wednesday we had a Valentine Party with our home school group!

On Thursday mom made a special Valentine lunch of pink bow tie pasta with spaghetti sauce and homemade pepperoni cheese bread and for dessert vanilla pudding that was pink!

Uhhm, dessert! I fooled Kylan he thought it was going to be strawberry, I only had vanilla so I just tinted it with beet juice (we can't use red dye because Kylan is allergic)

Ok this doesn't look very appetising but it looked cute in person!
