Beaver's Bend State Park

My family usually tries to get together every year at Beaver's Bend State Park in Broken Bow, Oklahoma.  While it's only a two and a half hour trip for most of the family, for us it was about five and a half hours.  This was our second year to go, and first for Braylon.  He did pretty well on the drive, and had a blast running around the cabin, swimming in the lake, and riding the train.  Brad and I had a good time canoeing down the river one day, despite flipping over once and having to do a lot of rowing at the end with no current to push us along. 

Here's the cabin.  I stole these from the website since I didn't get any pictures of the cabin.  That's why you see snow.  It had a huge wrap-around porch with a hot tub and fire pit.

 

We stopped at Emily and Bob's on the way to stretch our legs and drop Gramma Dar off.  Braylon enojyed playing with Luke!  It was so cute!

We finally made it to the cabin.  We got situated and waited for others to arrive while Braylon, Garrett, and Gage played outside.

The next morning, the men went fly fishing for trout with not much success.  Dad brought back the only fish.  Once they returned, we all loaded up and headed to the lake.  Braylon loved the water, of course.

Brad was helping Joe change a flat.

Braylon playing with Uncle Jason.

He had on big boy undies for a few hours to help clear up a bad diaper rash.  He never even went potty in them.

One of our favorite stops when we come here is a place called "Girls Gone Wine."  My Mom, sister, and I did a wine tasting, sat on the patio and enjoyed a glass, then bought a couple bottles to take back home.
