At the beginning of October, we went on our first camping trip as a family. We went with another family and met them up at the camp site in Oklahoma. We had to stop several times in the first 15 minutes because our kayak on the roof was making a really loud noise. Daniel finally got that taken care of and we were finally on our way.
The boys and car all loaded up.
15 minutes later and they were out!
Talon eating cheese on the ice chest.
They loved the truck that our friend's brought.
Going for a hike. It was cold!!!
Silly Carter ;)
Eating some snacks.
All the adults wanted to go repelling (except for me).
Carrying everything up.
Arline took Talon on her back to make it easier to carry the boys.
Since we were up a good 65 feet, we had to tie the boys to the tree. Carter does not like to be tied down but once he got his own rope (not sharing one with Talon) and a walkie talkie to play with, he was perfectly fine.
Talon passed out on the walk down.
He was exhausted! Arline, her daughter, my boys and I went to the visitor's center while the guys went rock climbing. It was so nice to be in a place with heat! The boys wore out Arline's daughter there by running all over the place.
Carter and Talon playing together by the big rock.
Talon cheesing it up for the camera.
I can never get them both to look at me at the same time!
Talon being cute.
A bison right on the side of the road.
On our way home, we stopped by the Holy City of the Wichita's.
And they found a bug!
So cute in their Texas A&M jackets :)
Wah-hoo....they are both looking forward at the same time :)
Carter trying to make his escape!
We had a great time as a family and I would go again but it would have to be a good 15 degrees warmer next time. I was really nervous that the boys wouldn't sleep in the tent or that they would get hurt somehow but everything turned out to be okay. The first night Talon ended up sleeping on Daniel because he was cold. Then the second night, Daniel took Carter to sleep with because Daniel was cold...haha. Luckily the burn ban was lifted the day before we got there or else it would have been miserable to not have a fire. But one thing did get destroyed. Carter took and threw one of Talon's mittens into the fire pit. Oh well at least we had another set of mittens with us...lol!
