Randy took most of the day off, other than getting gas and groceries - that was work!
Bryn met Rebecca and off they went to Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve. In what was once Osage land, Frank Philips built this ranch retreat in 1925. Philips of Philips Petroleum, Philips 66, Philbrook Museum, Philmont Ranch. It's an old-fashioned museum filled with Native American treasures, but as a private museum, it does not have to follow standard museum practices, and some of the exhibits are not exactly politically correct. Woolaroc stands for Woods, Lakes, Rocks.

Later in the day we picked up The Curl from preschool, and met Joe Don and Randy at the house. The guys were grilling outside, while the girls did the veggies. Through this cooperative effort, we ended up with a yummy dinner. We got a squash at the Knife River Indian Village NHS a few days prior. They had been growing Arikara squash in their three sisters garden (corn, beans, squash), but they found out that this was a hybrid of Arikara and Hubbard squash. So instead of saving them for seeds, they gave squash out to visitors.
