We decided to enjoy our last few days together as a family before Matt headed off to his new job. Camping a few weeks ago got us excited to go again, but we wanted to find somewhere a little more remote with some scenery. We found the perfect place in OK called Turner Falls park. Here is the view from our campsite:
The kids had so much fun and it was nice to just let them roam and be kids without being bored all day at home. They were so excited!
Katelynn met a girl there and they were so cute. The girl yelled to her mom and I "Come take a picture of me and my best friend!" (after knowing Katelynn for 2 hours) Katelynn will always be so easy to be friends with and I love this about her
Even Sierra had a blast. She got to go for a swim and took full advantage of it.
This was the falls there. Not quite the cascades(you Virginians know what I mean), but it was really beautiful.
Katelynn and I played in the water and I felt like a kid again. It was so fun running around in the stream.
When we got back we headed to the Lantana spring festival. Of course we had to wait in line to get a horse painted on her face. I was impressed and wished we had asked for it on a canvas. ;)
Then they got to go on pony rides, the petting zoo and bounce houses. So much fun!
It was such a great weekend, I was sad to see it end. Now we are I guess back to being a normal family. I do feel so blessed that life worked out the way it did and I had time to focus on my dreams and then get so much family time after. What a great year it has been! Thanks to Matt for all he has put up with and for being the best father and husband in the world!

First off, congrats to Matt on the new job! That's so exciting, especially with the economy the way it is right now!
We went to Turner Falls one summer and had such a great time! The water was warm and fun, and we all had a great time swimming there and going down the slide into the water. Glad you guys had a great time! We miss having great camping places too...there isn't much here in TX, is there?
What is Matt's new job?
We'll have to head up to Turner Falls sometime- looks like fun!!
Love you guys looks like you had a blast!
