Heyburn Lake, OK

run

We went to Heyburn Lake for a hike on the day after Thanksgiving.

These boys had a lot of energy to burn.

The Wildlife Management Area is open to hunting so that part of the trail is closed certain times of the year.

There are still trails to hike that are within the park though.

book

I originally took these for “Christmas Stories” but after talking with my youngest(he has really gotten into this project), I realized this is definitely a tradition for us.

traditions2

We read The Grinch who stole Christmas every year and have since my boys were little.

My oldest had it memorized one year before he could read because we read it so much.
