Deep Fork Wildlife Refuge ~Okmulgee, Ok

We got out on a hike a little bit ago on one of my favorite spots in our area. Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge. I love the boardwalk trail, so pretty. And the whole walk smelled like honeysuckle this time! We are pretty loud so we usually scare the animals away before we see them. We drove a bit more and went to on the Railroad Trail also, it is such a pretty trail. It is another easy walk. I grabbed Little Bit right before she stepped on this guy. We think he was either a water snake or a cottonmouth. Of course all four of my other kids walked right by him without seeing him… The twins decided to stick a bit closer after that. I don’t know if you can tell but in the above pic we were getting rained on.

It did not last long though.

There were a lot of tadpoles in this puddle by the entrance!

It was a beautiful day!

It is really hard to only include some of my kids in shots because they are usually together.

Ha.

So you get pics with no kids.

This really is one of my favorite easy walks to go on in North Eastern Oklahoma.

I like going to this one right after(or even during) the rain.

It is mostly boardwalk so the rain does not bother the trail and there are more animals out.

In theory at least.

My kids scare off most animals…

This egret was seen from the vehicle!

HA!
