I left off at we were going camping.....



And camping we did! We had such a great time at Lake Tenkiller. Everything was so green and beautiful. We started our trip off by looking at the dam. The girls thought that was so neat. It really was beautiful there.


Then we went to a town close by for lunch. We ended up eating at a little drive in called Princess. Good home cooking! The people were so friendly there. Then it was time to check into our cabin. We were so happy to see it.


We quickly unpacked and went to the nature center for ice cream making. That was fun. The girls make there own ice cream in a zip lock back by doing a lot of shaking and it was sooooooo good too. Especially with the heat in the 100's.


After that we changed in to our swim suits and headed to the lake for a swim. The water was so nice. Even Tabitha enjoyed the swim. The next morning we we took a nice hike and saw lots of pretty flowers and some nice areas by our cabin. We then packed up and went to lunch. We went to a little resort called the Fin and Feather. They had a place there called Soda Steve's. The food there was so good! YUMMY! We want to go back and eat there again. Who cares if its 3 hours to get there! After lunch we went to another state park to swim at. The area wasn't as nice and the water was warm and being invaded by turtles. We left and came back to our cabin just in time for a hay ride. The was so much fun. Every time we saw someone we all shouted HI! The girls got a big kick out of that.


After that we went to the pool with a slide, diving board, and a log roll. The girls were jumping off the diving board and doing the log roll with perfection by the time we left. That was Abby favorite part! When we got back to the cabin we got ready to grill burgers and make smores. Maddy helped Vinod with the grill. Dinner was so good. We were ready for bed so no swimming that night.


The next morning we took the girls fishing and guess what...Abby caught a fish. Since I cant handle worms we used hot dogs as our bait! Works every time!


By now it was time to check out of our cabin and go eat lunch. At the park we stayed at, there was a floating lake. We ate outside and watched the boats go by. After we fed our leftover fries to the HUGE fish. The were about 24 inches long and they fought for the fries, splashing water everywhere. Even that got a oooh from Tabitha!

We took the girls for one last swim in the lake. They even got to swim from a rope and jump into the lake. They really liked that!


So that was our camping adventure. It was so much fun. We loved every minute of it and we cant wait to do it again! Oh and I did get to float out on the lake!
