While my time at Cookson is coming to a close, they have definitely been keeping me quite busy here. So, I haven't had much time to write!
My parents came last week! We visited Oklahoma City:
Cowboy Museum:
As we were driving, we saw a few signs for the National Shrine of the Infant Jesus of Prague. So, we let our curiosity get the best of us and checked it out:
We visited the Memorial:
We tried Vietnamese food:
I have no clue what I ate there...I told my Dad it was a mind over matter kind of thing for me. My parents enjoyed it though.
I went to a Pow Wow!
The drummers:
My parents and I toured the Cherokee Heritage Center:
They used to pile the base of a tree with clay and set it on fire to get the tree down instead of chopping it down. Very ingenious.
Our tour guide demonstrating how to use a blow dart:
Cookson Hills Center began to give out school supplies to children this week! Monday was insanely busy! Because we didn't have enough supplies donated though, we had to buy quite a few items.
My parents and I ate at Sam and Ella's Chicken Palace. While it was decorated with a chicken theme, it was actually a pizza place.
Gas in Cookson keeps going down...I think it's about 3.59 now.
Spider web at the gas station:
Colleen and I worked on her VIM (Volunteers in Missions) Board:
I'm going to miss the Oklahoma sky. It's so open!
So that was last week! There is a more to come for this week!
Peace,
Meredith
