OKC has a wonderful hands on kids science museum! Great Salt Plains was amazing, my kids loved it and even did science project the following year after we visited.
You've gotten some awesome suggestions from the members of the group!!! Tye Dying shirts is certainly always a hit with the kids! Whatever you do have fun and enjoy the time. It will be great memories for all. Anne
Great Salt Plains is fantastic, I agree! Did you get to the north side? I wrote about it earlier. They have the brackish water, and LOTS for migratory birds who DINE and rest on their long journeys. It is heaven spring and fall. HIGHLY recommend...if you like peace and quiet and watching all of God's array of creatures. (I DO!)
CRAYONS! I just ck'd online. Unfortunately the Winfield KS loc closed in '97 per their info...only locs in PA now. Oh well. Did you ever attend the Folk Music Festival (Walnut Valley Festival). Got their mailing this last week, will be 39th one this year Sept 15-19. Can camp etc. RAINS though. What a mess! We decided to got w/o reservations anywhere till 2 wks prior...HUGE mistake. Had to drive an hour back/forth to event AND had to go buy cleaning supplies and clean the room myself. I'd like to go again, but MUST make reservations a year out. BEST, BEST music!!!!! I love it attracts all age groups, such an interesting event. Me, I like the 'ol stuff. ALL accoustic!
