Our Weekend Adventures

This weekend we went on a new adventure. My best friend Dani and I took our families camping! Neither of us have really been camping in a long time. The last time I went camping was with Clays family when we were first married. We have never been by ourselves. It was definalty a new experiance. I'm glad my dad and Clay's brother let us borrow some of their camping gear. We met up at a cabin in Davis, OK. On Saturday we went to Arbuckle Wilderness. OMG!!! It was SOO much fun! It was a total blast to watch Dani and David feed the animals threw their windows. Clay got some great video (I'll try and have him post some later, it's absolutly hillarious). Here are the kids in the backseat.
Here is Dani feeding one of the animals. Clay and I were too scared to feed the animals but David and Dani were very brave. All the animals were cute but some were kinda scary!
We of course did s'mores while we were there. Zoey's favorite part was the chocolate!
I cooked in a Dutch oven for the first time! I made stew. It actually turned out pretty good (though the meat was a little tough).
This is the cabin Dani rented. On the first night Clay, Zoey and I slept out in our tent. It rained the ENTIRE time we were out there. So, the second night we all slept in the cabin.
Here is Dani and I. BFF's!!!! We had an absolute blast together! I pulled this off her facebook. She is so amazing and I absolutly love hanging out with her (and her family).
The kids got dirty with all the rain so we of course had to give them a bath! Aren't they so cute all together?
On the second day we drove down to Turner Falls. There had been so much rain that we were told we could drive into the park at our own risk and may get stuck on the other side if it rained some more. So, we parked up top and walked down to the falls area. It was so pretty! We're planning on going back one day without the kids so we can do more hiking on the trails. Though it was slightly cold and still raining we had a good time.
Here we are sitting by the smokey fire. Boy was it smokey! Because of the rain we didn't spend much time hanging around outside.
Ok, so this is funny!!! Dani has boys...We had just finished cleaning out the cabin and were all playing outside when Evan needed to use the bathroom. We told him to be a boy and just go outside. He then proceeded to pee off the porch. Zoey saw what he did and tried to copy him! It was so funny. Luckly she only got her pants down and didn't pull off her diaper.
And of course I had to put in a shot of all the kidos.
Zoey was exhausted by the time we drove home. And she should have been, she barely napped or slept the whole time we were gone! It was a very quiet ride home!We had an absolute blast over the weekend. It was kinda tough becuase of the rain but we didn't let it ruin our weekend! I can't wait until our next adventure...
