Rain, Rain, and More Rain!

If you have been watching the news you will know that we have been getting a lot of rain in Bartlesville. It has been pouring! This is a picture of a creek behind my house. I took it about an hour ago.

OWU Basketball Camp

The campus is buzzing with future basketball stars. Coach Donnie Boswell and his staff are putting these stars through their paces!

Tall Grass Prairie

A storm is moving in over the prairie.

This is a beautiful area to just watch nature! There are buffalo everywhere that roam over thousands of acres. Sometimes they will block the gravel roads and you just need to sit and wait for them to move. There are a couple of hiking trails and a nature center that you can explore. This is a great place to see what the prairie looks like. With a little imagination you can picture Indians riding alongside your car!

A Beautiful Day on Campus!

I just couldn't help posting this picture. I took this one about an hour ago from campus. It has been a beautiful day on campus...about 80 degrees. Can you picture yourself sitting on that bench enjoying some quiet time?

Price Tower by Frank Lloyd Wright

If you enjoy interesting architecture and history, take a look at the Price Tower designed and built by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is located in the center of Bartlesville. The Price Tower is located about 5 minutes from campus. Take a couple of minutes and click here to learn more. It's a great place to visit.

I took this picture last night on the way to campus. Just to the left of the tower is the Bartlesville library and to the right is the beautiful community center. By the way...the entire city of Bartlesville has free wi-fi.

Dirt Bike Time!

This area has some wide open spaces for dirt bike riding. Dirt bikes come in all sizes for all ages!

This is my son racing across the front yard.

Enjoy Shooting?

Bartlesville area has a ton of places for hunting and shooting. If you enjoy shooting, this is the place for you!

This is my niece and I doing some shooting. Don't panic...I'm wearing ear protection when I actually shoot!

Another Oklahoma Day!

We had a great night making smores. You never can tell who will show up for roasting marshmallows!

Nothing like a night around the campfire.

Could this be OWU's very own CFO and his son? You never can tell who will show up at a campfire.

Bi-Plane Expo

Bartlesville pass over our yard. It was a blast! This event is really fun and if you like to fly and eat great food it's fun. Here is a picture of my son in the bi-plane. He was riding with a woman who was a bit nervous. It was as much fun to watch her as it was to watch him!

Here is a picture of some of the planes at the show.

Here is Josh in the plane.

Vacation Fun

I'm spending the week on vacation and having some fun. We caught some great fish and plan on making some smores around our fire pit this week. The fishing here is great. These pictures are from the pond in my backyard.

A beautiful Oklahoma sunset!

Want to relax a bit?

When you come to OWU you may work with Shanny,

one of our admissions counselors. She's off for some canoe time.

Love that fishing!
