We have been all around this weekend. As you can tell from the pictures we hit a wedding, Oklahoma City Memorial, The Roman Coliseum, Big Ben and a little dissecting before taking off.
We left out on Thursday for Kansas City for our niece's wedding this past Saturday. We had to get school completed before heading out. Lesson 3 of Apologia Botany calls for the students to dissect a flower. I can't remember ever doing that in school but it was totally AMAZING!!! Amanda dissected it and found all of it's parts, labeled and put it in her notebook. If you ever get the chance to use Apologia Elementary Science, do it!!
As soon as Michael got home from school we took off on our journey. We arrived in Kansas City on Friday and didn't stop! Wedding rehearsal and dinner that evening, staying up late, getting up early the next morning to decorate and do flowers. Needless to say, we were exhausted!!
On our way back we stopped by the Murrah Federal Building. Or at least where it use to be. It's mind blowing to think that people want to do others harm. Especially people who are your own people!! I showed Amanda the before and after pictures of what happened on that block. Probably the most touching and heart wrenching picture is that of Bailey and the Fireman. I can't even imagine!!
In southern Oklahoma, you might even see the Coliseum and Big Ben!! LOL!! Ok, not really, it's a casino. I couldn't resist!!
