At 7:15 AM we got up from bed and got dress and our stuff for the day. We saw Ms. Trenkle in a National Park Service Uniform. We got into "Phill" or our car and headed for the town of Sulphur, Oklahoma. On the way we saw a store that sold garbage. The first place we went to was the Viz or the Visitor Center. There we saw Ranger Lauren and Ranger Chris. We toured the place and then went to the Vendome Well. We had to get mineral water there and MAN did it smell. That water smelled like rotten eggs. The reason it stank is because there was sulfer in it. After we had that smell we went to the National Park headquarters for Oklahoma and met some rangers. We also talked to Superintendent Bruce and asked him some questions. After that we went to a school that had an elementary school, middle school, and high school rolled into one. We saw a presentation on the parks at Oklaholma and then we showed a presentation for them. We got to go to their playground for a few minutes and then we went to Chickasaw. There we went to Pavillion Springs and a nearby stream. We then went to the Lincoln Bridge. We went to the Flower Gardens and saw a river near by. After that we went to a restaurant called Mazzio. After that we went to the Buffalo Pen. There were seven of them. After that we went to a cliff and see a view of Sulphur, after that we went to see some more spring, we went to the Nature Building. There we saw two owls named Prince and Daphine. We also saw a movie. After that we went to a waterfall called Little Niagra. We unfortunaltely had to say goodbye to Ranger Lauren. After that we went by the man made lake. We then went to a store that sold fried pies, they were very traditional.

I'm in an awesome Web 2.0 session right now. Just learned about
tagxedo....and made a design from my Ranger Amy blog...how awesome is
that!?!? I'm in lov...
Wasn't it crazy that all the schools for the whole town were in one building. Imagine how big a building it would have to be to put all the students in DC into one place.
ReplyDeleteA store that sold garbage? What kind of garbage and why?
ReplyDeleteDid you enjoy meeting the 6th graders? I hope their presentation gave you lots of good information about the places that you'll see this week. I wish I'd been there to see the owls. They're my favorite birds. What kind of owls were they?
Wow, you guys have been busy. Where do you get all the energy? I didn't think there was that much water in OK. Even if it does smell a bit, it looks like it was nice place to be.
ReplyDeleteI really like the buffalo too. How close could you get to them?
Can't wait to see what comes next.
