About to get in the car for 3hrs to go to Canton Lake in Oklahoma Just your typical cucumber snack. Beautiful site! Playmobiles for the win!Last night as a thirteen year old! My favorite Oklahoma beach so far. It does not get very deep so I just sat on the beach watching kids for hours this trip. So relaxing. Fourteen!We went to see the prairie dog town at the Canadian Campground.

We also got to visit one of my favorite spots in Oklahoma! Gloss Mountain! He decided to walk into my shot in a dramatic way…

We decided to go to Roman Nose State Park to hike the Spring Trail while close. The water is ice cold.

Hot dogs and S’more’s.This pup seems to be okay with the rv life 😉 The beach was super crowded on Saturday. We went again Sunday morning before we headed home though and had the beach to ourselves.

We had to stop at this giant Bumblebee on the way home!

We had such a great time in western Oklahoma!

Week 18 ~Cold, Clear Creek!

Always reminding myself to get in pics with my kids. Lizard Lover The girls have really liked having a garden this year. This guy thinks I should just play with him while I am outside at night. I am concerned about what my husband plans to do with these Habanero Peppers… I am still only getting a few tomatoes at a time but at least that is something I guess. I really like these fraction tiles.

We have some flat ones that came with our RightStart Math but these are thick and a lot easier to use. On saturday we braved the possible crowds and went to Little Blue Area near Disney Park. There were a lot of people near the deeper part but thankfully you could spread out and mostly stay away from people. It is such a beautiful, clear creek!

And so cold! This little butterfly decided she was a great place to rest on for a while.

I would love to go here on a weekday morning but it was still a beautiful day.

Anyone else have kids that get really loud at creeks?

Just mine?

Week 17 ~snakes and homemade board games

We picked the last big batch of radish pods from our garden. I actually pickled them which the kids liked but I am not sure about.

They are odd.
My youngest son has been on a game making streak!

They are all historical battle games so he has been researching like crazy.Basically he made his own history unit.

HaThe boards and game pieces are so impressive.
They are kind of like Risk and therefore hard for me to play… By the end of the day my brain feels fried so I am not a great opponent. I am enjoying stepping outside and checking on my garden more than taking the actual pictures but I am still at it.

Even when it is something I am not excited about like these blister beetles eating up what was left of my potatoes.

The pests have been intense in the garden right now.I am coating everything in Diatamacous Earth and it seems to be helping.At the lake my oldest girl decided to see what was under the dock and found a surprise 😉We watched him for a long time.

I use oksnakes.org to i.d. all these guys.Then while swimming at a local lake we had another snake to study!Both were harmless water snakes as far as I could tell but it is always a bit unnerving to see a snake where you are swimming…

Would you keep swimming if you saw a snake?

My boys did but I was done…
