Hiking

Heyburn Lake ~Kellyville, OK

Heyburn Lake is a little hard to find info on.

It does have camping available and has a pretty good trail system though!

There are over 20 miles of trails there.

Most of the trails are located at Sheppard’s Point on the North side of the lake.

We have gone canoeing on this lake also and enjoyed it.

We took the lakeside trail while Nick was doing part of his 100K.

It is about 1.5 miles.

I do recommend pants not shorts if you are hiking this trail.

There is a lot of poison ivy in parts.

There is a small day use fee for this area.

I really enjoy these trails though and have no clue why I do not go more often!

Need to fix that!

Matt & Julie Beemer

I first met the Beemer’s while on a missions trip to England when I was 15!

They were Pastor’s of a church there.

Such amazing people!

They are now directors over two bible schools and the ministry they founded club1040.

They also live in Nigeria!

I love the people I get to meet (or re-meet) while taking pictures.

This gorgeous girl has a beautiful voice.

OKC Zoo

I said in the post I did on the OKC History Center that I would show you our trip to the OKC Zoo also and I never did!

Oops…

Better late then never, right?

Since we go to the Tulsa Zoo a lot, I could not help but compare the two during this trip.

This one did have a water play area that looks like a creek.

With how hot our summers are this would be really nice to have in the Tulsa one as well.

The exhibits were kind of bigger and more impressive looking then the Tulsa Zoo but the problem with that was the boys were more interested in the exhibit then the animals.

They did get bonus points for having a Red Panda!

So cute!

This zoo feels bigger and we were not even able to finish it.

I was completely worn out.

Even though I think it is bigger, I do not think there are more animals then the Tulsa one.

At least not that I could tell.

Baby Elephant!

We had fun and the boys really enjoyed getting to go to a different zoo.

I am glad to know that I can go to the closer zoo without feeling like I am missing out too much though.

It is nice that I have two zoo’s close enough that I can choose which one I want to go to!

I am so spoiled.
