Beaver's Bend

Here are some pictures we took on our latest camping trip to Beaver's Bend, Okla. It was really beautiful there; very much like Colorado. I blew off my reading and Mike took Friday off to drive five hours to camp with my parents and Cody and Nicole. When we unloaded our camper, we had a unwelcome visitor: MOLD! Our pop up leaked and one side was covered in yucky mold. Mike cleaned it with bleach, and we are going to store it with a cover from here on out. Anyway, we didn't get a lot of rest and sleep, but we did have a great time. The kids got to play in the river, ride a train, and ride bikes. Mike got to catch his first ever trout in a river. And, I got to watch everyone buzz around like bumblebees. I did have a few moments to savor camping, one of my most favorite activities. The mountains were unbelievable, and the dogwoods were blooming. The forrest was filled to the brim with squirrels and racoons. If you haven't been to this really cool place, you should try to go sometime. They have horse riding, canoeing, fishing and other activities (we saw a Choctaw casino up the road that looked unmistakeably like the
casino Chevy Chase and Randy Quaid visit when they go on their Vegas vacation to try to win their money back! )
