Walkers' Trail

 Woods. Lakes. Rocks. If you had hundreds of acres full of those things and couldn't come up with a name, what would you do? Frank Phillips combined all of the assets and named his place Woolaroc. Woolaroc was developed in the mid 1920's by Frank Phillips of Phillips 66.  He felt this beauty needed to be shared by everyone.  From what I recall, he and a brother had tried to dig for oil at 3 different sites.  Using the remainder of their money, they tried one more time, and found oil!  Hence, their success of Phillips 66.  Buffaloes were shipped in from South Dakota and all sorts of animals are basically roaming free on the property.  The buffalo and ostrich are really that close to our car.  There is a museum on Oklahoma history, a petting zoo, a Mountain Man camp, and a playground area.  We spent a day during spring break here with our friends, the Ramseys.  Located near Bartlesville, it was worth the trip! ...

Kyle's great class on their teacher's birthday.   I am thankful every day for her and for the great group of kids he is surrounded with each day. Spring Break movie - just ...

GG and Bubba went shopping with Grant last week and they picked out a Solar Rover to assemble.  (Grandparents are great for this sort of thing that busy parents don't get around to very often!) Grant and my dad put it together - but mostly Grant I have been told as Dad was just the assistant.   "It's powered by light, right?!?"  wrong type but great try!
