Our day today was full of hopping in and out of the car. We also did some very cool things today, starting with talking with the Superintendent of Chickasaw National Recreation Area, Washita and the Oklahoma City Memorial. This interview went on for about an hour and we asked him about 15 questions. He was on vacation in Vail, Colorado skiing with his family. We all gave him a thumbs up for being a skier.
After that great experience we went down the rode to the Sulfur school building. At the school we saw a presentation about the national parks here in OK and in return we showed them a few parks from DC. The kids were really nice so we went out to recess with them. It was cool to see how the kids there thought of DC.
For the next couple hours we visited and walked around the Chickasaw park. It is a wonderful place with water everywhere. The spring water tastes and smells like rotten eggs because of the Sulphur in the water.
We saw all of these pavilions, springs, trails and falls built by the CCC.
I could have stayed there fro hours with the water crashing all around you. We saw Little Niagara, the biggest falls built by the CCC, and the Lincoln bridge. There we met the nicest dog ever. She is three months old and is very small. We took some pictures with him and sat for like five minutes.

We got in and out of our car a lot and got very wet. At the end of the day , we went to a fried pie place and went to dinner at Red Robin. Today was full of activities and we got a lot of things done.
All the waterfalls are so pretty. I could sit by them too for hours. Imagine how great they would feel on a hot day in the middle of summer. You can see why they built a park here for all the people to enjoy the cool water on a hot day.
ReplyDeleteIt was really excellent that the superintendent took time out during his vacation to talk to y'all.
ReplyDeleteWhat were some of the kids opinions of DC? It's always interesting to find out how people from other places view your home. It makes you realize that your opinions about other places may not be any more correct than that.
Did y'all get to sample the fried pies? My grandmother makes fried pies but I think that it's mostly a food from the Southern parts of the United States.
I love all of the photos. It really helps me visualize everything that you're talking about.
I want to know about the fried pie. Does the dog have a name? I wish I was there to soak my feet despite the smell of the water. You guys look so relaxed. Hey! What did you guys do with Mrs. Trenkle? I have not seen her show up yet since you left the airport.
