Hiking, Wildlife Preserve/Reserve

Boardwalk Trail at the Wildlife Refuge

Leave a comment

I asked the boys if they wanted to hike in the same place or something different.

The yelled different!

So we turned right instead of left in search of a new adventure.

It had been a little while since our last visit to the Wildlife refuge in Okmulgee so I was excited to go again.

“PAY THE TOLL”

It is such a beautiful place.

I love having my own photographer around.

My youngest is starting to be a real character in front of the camera.

We got off the boardwalk and took a path for a little bit.

My boys were Jedi Knight training the whole time.

This one was taken by my oldest also.

I love when he gets creative with my camera.

Oxley Nature Center, Tulsa OK

The Mary K. Oxley Nature Center has some beautiful trails.

It is located in Mohawk park next to the zoo.

They do get very messy if it has been raining a lot and some even disappear all together so it is best to go when it has been dry.

With the abundance of water you get to see a lot of wildlife.

Some I prefer seeing from a distance.

They have lookouts to view birds from and a pretty nice nature center.
