Wildlife and Museums ~South Eastern Oklahoma

Little River National Wildlife Refuge
To the left of the boys a deer was just standing there staring at us! This was the only established place to walk around that we saw there. It was a beautiful scenic drive though and my kids want to go back when it is warmer to see Alligators.
When we found out about the Museum of the Red River we knew we wanted to stop! It is under construction so very small right now, the drawings look amazing of what they are planning though and it was free. The biggest selling point for us was the state dinosaur!

They don’t have the exhibit done for him yet but they did display it’s head and I read the story behind it online.

My dinosaur lover was very excited to get to see “Acro” even if it was just the head!

Here is a video I made of us exploring the area.

How much is that doggy in the window?

There is a reason that my husband does not even drive near those people trying to sell puppies in the parking lot of walmart.

He knows that I have zero self control around puppies…

This one just happened to drop in my lap though… We have been trying for over a week to find his owners and finally decided he was probably staying. I really did try not to love this little pup but it’s sweetness kind of broke me. So it looks like we are getting a puppy for Christmas!

3 more state parks checked off!

Nick made the mistake of mentioning the fact that his Grandparents liked to visit every state park in MN.

It kind of lit a fire under me to visit all the Oklahoma State Parks and on our last trip we get to hit up three more!

We have about three state parks left and some Grand Lake Areas to go before we have been to them all since we have moved here.

So here are some of the parks we stopped at and what we thought.

Hugo Lake State Park The Bois De Arc Trail was a nice paved trail but pretty run down looking. We did not see much else for us to do there since we mostly like to hike and go to playgrounds. The kids liked watching birds at Hugo Lake Dam. Raymond Gary State Park was a nice small park. It was definitely not a place we would drive hours to camp at but the playground was a nice stop to end our day. We also stopped at Clayton Lake State Park but I could not find anything to do there so I did ended up not even taking one picture!

So if you have been to that state park let me know what you like to do there.

Do you have a goal to see all of something?
