Water,Fellowship, Dirt, Leaves, and Birthdays

This weekend we went camping at Turner Falls Park in Oklahoma. We met the Flemings there for some outdoor recreation. I was especially looking forward to this because I feel that our outdoor space and time is limited living in an apartment. And, of course, seeing friends is always a wonderful time. The waterfalls were beautiful. The water was clear and flowed over rock forming pools for fishing or swimming and there were a lot of shallow places were the kids could safely play. And they did! Ollie could have spent hours just throwing rocks into the water.
There are a few small caves at the park. We found one which was exciting for our kids since they never have really been in a cave before. There was also a "castle" that had been built by a doctor in the 30's as his summer home. That was fun to explore.
We celebrated all the adults' birthdays as they are all next week, except mine (Marla) which was today. Except for being completely covered in dirt and having cold feet at night we had a wonderful time. Thanks, Flemings, for making the suggestion and let's do it again!
