It's no fun throwing-up a hamburger on memorial day. period.But I did enjoy a fabulous weekend getaway at a place in Oklahoma called Robber's Cave State Park. I'll post some images of it later. oh wait, that's right-- i forgot my camera...bummer! you won't get to see me in my aunt jemima do-rag, and oversized sunglasses while chillaxin under some beautiful pine trees with a gorgeous view of the lake. i know, you are disappointed.
anywho, the boys sure enjoyed themselves too -paddleboating, feeding dogfood to about a bazillion huge catfish, and swimming! we had fishing on the list too, but they weren't bitin'. better luck next time :)
hope everyone was able to enjoy the memorial day weekend (and fondly remembering loved ones who've passed on and the ones who died bravely fighting for our country).
a few images and some information about the Park...we will definately be going back time and time again. it was such a serene and peaceful way of reflecting on the meaning of Memorial Day and Remembering...
Robbers Cave State Park is located in the scenic, hilly woodlands of the San Bois Mountains of southeast Oklahoma. A favorite of rappellers, equestrians, hikers and outdoor lovers. Robbers Cave enjoys notoriety as a former hideout for outlaws. The park and adjoining wildlife management area, including Lake Wayne Wallace, offers acres of discovery and enjoyment including trout fishing in season, boating, hunting, mountain biking, trails for hikers and horses, sandstone cliffs for climbing and rappelling, and fall foliage viewing. RV and tent campsites, and equestrian campsites are also available. Lodging facilities include the Belle Starr View Lodge, cabins and two group camps. Picnic tables, comfort stations with showers, boat ramps, a swimming beach, swimming pool with bathhouse, playgrounds, miniature golf, hiking trails, paddleboat rentals, and a nature center with naturalist programs/exhibits round out the park's facilities.

fun...i didn't know you were heading out for the weekend. isn't it great getting away, no matter what you do at least it's something different! hmmm, i would have loved to see those pics of you in the bandana and sunglasses..chillaxin.
it sounds like fun - minus the throwing up the hamburger. I feel for ya! it looks like it is a beautiful place. i'm glad you were able to relax.
Oh that does look nice and sounds fun. My in-laws just got an RV, fifth-wheel thing. I must encourage we all go there for a family trip!
That sounds like a fun getaway...it looks so pretty. We must go there some time when we are back in OKIEhoma. Sorry about the up-chuck of burger.
Don, Aimee, Holly and I actually went there a few years ago. It was a great place. Did you ride the paddle boats? What a fun mom you are! Janie
