Update on Aaron and the New School and other info.....

Aaron has started school at the Alva High School and they are mainstreaming him for 3 classes this semester. The Special Ed Classes are downstairs and he takes 3 special ed classes. The other 3 classes are with regular education students and he is excited. He is taking an Art Class, Home Economics (he wants to learn to cook and sew) and also taking a Computer Class. He gets to eat lunch in the cafeteria with all the school so he sees his cousins and his best friend Jessica every day too. So that is nice for him too. He rides the bus to school every morning also something new for him too. So there have been a lot of changes in his life this past month but he seems to be fairing them very well so far. We are very proud of him. The school reminds me of the show Happy Days when you would see them in High School. This place looks so much like it with the lockers inside and the waxed floors and glass cabinets displaying trophys and such. Really cool and like going back in time.


This weekend we are taking a trip into Oklahoma City which is about a 2 1/2 hour drive. The Ford Center (which is like the Honda Center in California) is having a show called Walking with the Dinosaurs. It is supposed to be like real live Dinosaurs and Aaron and his Dad are nuts about Dinos. (smile)
This is what they say about the show..

Walking With Dinosaurs —
Ruling the Earth Once More

Be transported millions of years back in time by "Walking with Dinosaurs: The Live Experience." Inspired by the hit BBC documentary, this massive arena show brings 15 actual-sized dinosaurs to life before your very eyes, in all their fearsome glory. The mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Brachiosaurus, Raptor and more will walk again in a show that will leave the whole family spellbound.
This is the website about the actual show..

And you can go on UTUBE here and see a clip about it. It is really awesome

So we are excited about that. We also wanted to go to the Oklahoma Memorial where it was Bombed on April 19, 1995 but they had a leak and it has damaged the Museum and will not open again until February they said. But we are still planning on going by there and seeing if we can see the outside of it and walk around the things they have outside. (we shall see)
We plan on making many trips into Oklahoma City so we will have to see the actual Museum part next visit.

Here is the link to check it out. http://www.oklahomacitynationalmemorial.org/

Aaron also wants to visit Toby Keith's Bar and Grill. It is a Restaurant in Oklahoma City and he loves the Country Singer Toby Keith so is anxious to check it out. The menu looks cool they even serve fried bologna sandwiches. Yum!!!!! We used to eat those all the time when I was growing up.
Here is the link to that.....

Then on Sunday we are going to visit one of our ABA Missionary Baptist Churches in Oklahoma City. Sis. Wiggins said that Bro. Wiggins is friends with the Pastor there so we shall go and visit them for the day.

After church we plan on going to Cracker Barrel for lunch. (yes no trip is complete without Cracker Barrel, or at least Mike and Aaron thinks it isn't) Ha! We will then go to Sams Club and a few other stores before we head back home. So I have all the places mapped out and printed out so we know where we are going.

So you won't be hearing from me on the blog probably again until Monday...

Have a nice weekend............Love and Hugs
