Pine Cove Recreation Area ~SE Oklahoma

This camping spot was very quiet and peaceful.

Which is really nice unless you are a family of seven with really loud kids and a dog…

I still really liked it though.

Beautiful

I loved the pine forest in the middle of the sites.

There was no hiking that I knew of but the walk around the campgrounds was beautiful.

The playground near our site was really nice! The only downside to this campground was the flooding that was going on and the location (it was in the middle of nowhere). We checked out a swimming spot I found on google the next day and it was flooded also so looked totally different than the pics. The kids still had fun even if they had to stay close to the shore. Afterwards we went to the Red Slough Wildlife Refuge to hunt for an alligator 😉 We did not see any but we did see a snake or two and this fawn.On Saturday we went to Beavers Bend State Park and it was kind of the start of a not great rest of the trip.

It happens, they can’t all be amazing.

Ha
This spot was pretty cool though.

There were just SO many people all over the park!And in trying to avoid the crowds I picked a difficult hike which had lots of climbing without the amazing views that make it worth it.It was one of those push yourself and be happy when you make it back to your car and can be done hiking type hikes…This was a beautiful campground though that I would not mind staying at again.

Just need to remember to never go to Beavers Bend on the weekend again.

Canton Lake for my oldest birthday! ~Canton, Ok

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?
