This last weekend Steven and I took Will, his cousin Nathan, and my cousin Kasey to Marval Resort in Gore, OK to go camping. This is my version, and only version, of camping. It was enough for me to go on the hottest weekend of the entire year:) Cabin, AC, mini kitchen, mini bathroom, mini sized...but STILL better than a tent. Will loves it and Nathan did too this year. Next year, I think we are going to be brave and even bring along our newly turned 3 year old (at that time).
One of Will's favorite activities for the weekend was throwing rocks in the river. The river is so extremely cold you can barely even stand in it. He would stand right at the edge and "skip" the
rocks as far as his little arms would throw them! The river is the very bottom of the water that is released every day from Lake Tenkiller (this is why it is so cold). Steven, Will, and Nathan loved to skip rocks and look for critters along the shoreline.Will and Nathan had so much fun together this weekend. They never fought one time and kept each other entertained the whole time. We all had a lot of fun and look forward to going again next year:)
We took Chad, Londa & 4 kids (first camp-out for Londa & the kids ever) last October on Fall Break and are going again this year. We didn't have a cabin...we have a 5th wheel & we set up a large tent. They stayed in the tent some and at least one night in the trailer. They loved it and want to go again this year so reservations for the camp site are already made. Of course, the fall was a great time to be in a tent...actually pretty chilly at night. There's nothing better for the kids than to get outside away from the city. Great times together! We carved pumpkins, Jaiden & I made a gingerbread haunted house, hiked, fished, and, yes, we threw rocks in the lake. Yes, do it again, for sure!
