Day 5: Back to OK

 Wednesday brought us back to Oklahoma for a visit with the students of Caney Valley Elementary School.  Our six Midshipmen had a chance to teach several fun STEM-related (Science, Tech, Engineering, and Math) modules to the third, fourth, and fifth grade including basics of electric circuits and conductivity, applications of air pressure, and building/testing straw rockets.  To say the students impressed us would be an understatement!  They were super excited for us to be there, and we thank them greatly for their hospitality!  Enjoy the pictures below!

Afterwards, we headed to Pawhuska, OK for a big lunch at Ree Drummond's Mercantile (the Pioneer Woman).    

We then headed north through Kansas toward our overnight destination of Omaha, NE which set us up for our chase target in northern IA/southern MN on Thursday.  More pictures from that day next!
