Robbers Cave State Park ~Wilburton, OK

I started working on this post at the beginning of the week but colds and allergy scares have hit hard this week.
So what can you do if you are worried about your child having an allergic reaction to something?

My best advice would be to carry a small first aid kit with you that has some children’s benadryl tablets in it.

It might buy you enough time to get help.

I carry it with me everywhere and it helps put my mind at ease.

My twins have some pretty bad allergies and while camping we have had some reactions pop up.

We do have epi-pens for them but benadryl has thankfully been enough so far.

I carry a small backpack with me on hikes like this so an epi-pen or benadryl is always close by.

I am glad that we can be prepared but still go on fun adventures like Robber’s Cave. This place is a great stop for adventure loving kids. Our camping spot was directly across from the path to the nature center which was nice! I like camping at places with natures centers(or museums nearby) and hiking paths.

It gives us some options on keeping the kids busy in different weather.

Robber’s cave has some fun boat rentals also.

 

Always something to work on when we take longer trips. This park is unique because of the amazing climbing it has. There are several trails to get to the cave and they range from very difficult to pretty easy. My boys of course wanted to take the hardest path.I might have gotten stuck once or twice.At the nature center.Our pretty spot.Back to the rock climbing.GoofA place like this terrified me when my boys were little and we still made sure to keep a close eye on all the kids and a tight hold on our littlest hand.There was a boy scout troop there when we were though and they were all just running around climbing like crazy. So maybe I am just paranoid. There are steep drop offs though so if you have little ones that is something to keep in mind. The CCC trail is about difficult but not the hardest way to the cave.This is the easiest way that I know off.

Still a bit of climbing at the end.

Great way to finish our trip last month!

Here is a video I made of our trip!

All ALONE!

My husband and I took a little mini vacation all by ourselves for our six year anniversary! I was so excited for a little break and time alone with Nick.

I lasted one night, then I started missing them really bad. You know, the two little people always at my side. Everything we did seemed like things they would love to do! Camping, hiking, eating…okay I know, they were probably eating without me.

I did have fun though and it was really good to have some time alone with Nick! We do not have a babysitter, so time alone only happens when family comes to visit us or we visit them. I really need to change that!

We went camping down at Robbers Cave State Park for two nights, beautiful park. We love hiking down there!

vacationI want my backyard to look like this! Someone else needs to do all the work though.

vacationlight2Hello beautiful light! I want to insert a bride right in the middle of this! Brides like to wade into dingy water in their wedding dress, right?

vacationlightThis made me think I had entered an enchanted forest.

vacationmothWhen we finally got to put the tent up it was dark already. It took us 30min-1hr to figure out how to pay. I might have pouted a little bit about missing the sunset on the lake, I wanted to take pictures!

So when we(by we I mean Nick) finished putting up the tent, we(Nick again) noticed that the rain tarp was missing. Then I remembered seeing it at the house. I love how I remember things like that. You know, when it is not helpful.

At least it did not rain!

I actually enjoyed getting to fall asleep looking at the stars but the no privacy thing was a little different. You could see right into the tent since most of it was just the netting.

We got up and started hiking around six am Saturday, beautiful light! That is the only thing that can get me up that early on vacation. Well that, and the promise of a really hot day.

Later that night we, get this…went to a movie theater! You know that thing where you watch a movie with a group of people you don’t know and pay too much for cheap food! I did not know these were still in existence!

I think the movie could have totally bombed and I still would have enjoyed it! It has been that long since I have been.

It was a great weekend and I was so happy to pick up my two little men! They on the other hand, did not want to go home…
