Another pit stop

After leaving Dianne's we headed west through Oklahoma. We kept seeing signs for Cherokee Trading Posts. I was explaining to the girls about how they have Cherokee ancestors. So we decide to stop off and look around. It was a little touristy, but the girls had so much fun looking at all the dreamcatchers, pottery, weapons, dolls, jewelry, etc. I let them each pick out a little souvenir. Hayden and Taylor opted for the little leather bag filled with shiny rocks they got to handpick. Payton wanted one of the fanciest dreamcatchers in the place. We settled on the small keychain one after I told her we would try it out and get a bigger one on the way back through, if the small one worked. As we were checking out, the lady told us about the live buffalo they had. We went to the fenced area to see them, but they were way on the other side and weren't moving. After a few minutes we loaded back into the car and start to drive off. Then we notice the two big ones and the baby one running across the field. It was feeding time, so we all got back out of the car and the girls were able to watch the buffalo get fed. The funniest part was Hayden yelling "Buffalo!!" at the top of her lungs to get their attention. It didn't work.
