We went to the Tulsa zoo today. It was very windy and it seemed as though every school also decided to have their zoo field trip today. I also did not seem to find anyone there from our group. :o( I am so sorry if we missed each other. I do, however, have a packet for each child in the group that wants one. Brook made a 30 animal scavenger hunt for each child. I will bring them to Mom's night, so every kids can have a hunt at the zoo whenever you all can make it. Hope everyone is doing well today.

~The Senior Banquet we attended~
I just wanted to share a note about the Senior Banquet we attended a few weeks ago. It was a very delightful evening, the catered dinner was very delicious, and the guest speaker was very enjoyable and had alot of great things to give to the hearts of the graduating seniors. The whole evening was a very blessed one and we thank our Lord for His presence that night. The banquet was held at the Summit down town Tulsa. We had a very special time with our son Travis. We are so very proud of him and all of his hard work that he has done and look forward to seeing what God has planned for him next!!! We love you Travis!

Zoo Trip!!!!
We love the zoo! So much to learn and see and gaze upon the wonder of our almighty God's handy work :o)
We are making a scavenger hunt for the zoo. We will give every family a packet of pages that has pictures of the animals to find. Along with finding the animal you will need to write what the animal is and a fun fact you learn about the animal. So bring a clip board and pencil for the hunt.
We figured we would meet at 9am at entrance of the zoo. For lunch we are thinking picnica lunchs by the Rhinos and then gathering together at the end to see if you all found the animals and find out each child's favorite part.
We are so glad you all are coming! See you Friday at 9am!

Red Fern Festival
Red Fern Festival April 23 - 24 in Tahlequah
By Oklahoma Tourism Staff
The award-winning Red Fern Festival is April 23-24 at Norris Park in downtown Tahlequah. What began as a small idea has grown into an event that that is firmly planted in Tahlequah soil.
In its first year in 2007, the Red Fern Festival achieved a Merit Award for Outstanding New Event in the state from the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department and the Oklahoma Travel Industry Association. In its second year, the Red Fern Festival took the coveted RedBud Award for Outstanding New Event in the state.
“We are proud that our event went from an intangible thing that had yet to materialize to where it is now,” said Kate Kelly, tourism director with the Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce. “We should all be proud that one of our native sons authored ‘Where the Red Fern Grows.’”
Book author Wilson Rawls grew up in the Tahlequah area where the story is set. Many may not realize the impact this story has had, and continues to have. The book is in the curriculum of at least fifty percent of schools in the United States, and its popularity does not seem to be waning. The Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Council receives letters and phone calls from students and teachers, asking about Tahlequah because the story intrigues them and they want to learn more. They become captivated by the story, and touched by the magic, and want to make contact with someone who lives in the place where one of their favorite tales is set.
Inquiries regarding “Where the Red Fern Grows” are not limited to students and teachers. Many of the people who call and write read the story as a young person and make a visit to Tahlequah specifically because of the connection they have with this story. There are so many universal aspects of the story that there is something for almost everyone. The book has it all – drama, comedy, tragedy, triumph, evocative descriptions of our terrain, suspense, history. And, above all else, this is the story about the love of a boy and his two dogs.
Tahlequah’s Red Fern Festival will have some of the best components of the story. One of the highlights promises to be the Hound Dog Field Trials. Held throughout the Red Fern Festival, expect to be amazed and delighted by the dexterity and intelligence of these working hounds as they follow scents. Children’s activities will abound and will run the gamut from old- fashioned 1930s-era games to modern art activities to catching crawdads. The sweet smell of smoke will waft over town during the Red Fern Chili Cook-Off and Barbeque Extravaganza. Ferns will be on sale as well as a variety of arts and crafts, and crafts demonstrations. The Red Fern Parade will wend its way north on Muskogee Avenue to Norris Park. Bands will play bluegrass, rock and country music all day Saturday. All events will be centered at Norris Park, except for the 5Cs Car show which will be around Cherokee Square.
“The Red Fern Festival has captured the imagination of many. We want to warmly welcome our visitors to this event, but we also want to demonstrate our ability to honor our collective past while looking forward,” said Kelly.
For more information, please call the Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Council at 918/456-3742, or visit www.redfernfestival.com.

OCHEC Tulsa Convention
The OCHEC homeschool convention is coming to Tulsa this year! In the past it has only gone to Oklahoma City. This year it is expanding into Tulsa. It will be on April 27+28, a Tuesday and a Wednesday from 11:30am to 9:00pm. The key note speaker is Todd Wilson, the author of the book Lies Homeschooling Moms Believe and founder of Familyman Ministries. He is a great motivational speaker and if you didn't go to the convention for anything else, he alone would be worth it to go . He speaks at 7:00pm on Tuesday evening. There will be workshops of all kinds and, of course, lots of vendors will be there so you can look over material first hand.

Movie night fun
The movie was great. We didn't pass around too many tissues! Thank you to Angie for being our leader in the book club. Where the Red Fern Grows is a great book and the movie was good too! Julie said they watched the Disney version and she liked it even better than the original. Angie suggested to watch both versions and have the kids do a compare and contrast assignment. Thanks to all that participated. I know I am not alone when I say that we can't wait for next year's book club!

Fun at NSU
What a great time we had playing at the learning centers that Mary Thomas' college class set up for us. She and her classmates are earning their teaching degrees and needed volunteers to participate in some learning centers they created. The kids had lots of fun. The centers included dramatic reading, painting, sculpting, story drama, and music. Thank you, Mary, for inviting us.
