Broken Bow Day 2

Saturday morning we woke up to a very chilly morning. I loved it and as you can see it didn't stoop the kids from wanting to go outside and play. They had a lot of energy for 7 in the morning. They ended up spending the morning with Tony collecting wood and helping him move it over to the fire pit after he was done cutting it.

The two of them worked together to collect wood. I love this picture. I can already picture the two of them 15 years from now.

Before lunch we headed to the park to check out the trails and ride the train. They were incredibly smart in how they set the park up incorporating train rides through the trees, horse back rides as well as hay rides in the evening. It was great. The first time we rode it we say several different sets of deer running around. Kaylie enjoyed spotting them in between the trees.

Right across the road from the train their was a really nice playground that we took advantage of before we attempted nap time. The kids were able to get the rest of their energy out before we all went our separate was for a few hours.

Brown dog had to race her down the slide. Surprisingly they actually got there at the same time.

She is really starting to enjoy the "big girl" swings. She is working hard to be able to swing herself.

After the park we all went separate ways so the younger ones could nap. Jason, Kaylie and I decided to go to the restaurant that was in the park for some down home country cooking. They had the best onion rings I have had in a long time. After we ate we went and walked around and took advantage of the beautiful day and the scenery around us.

So bummed about this picture. It is one of my favorites but I hate that she has food on her face and her hair is in her eyes.

While we were heading back to the cabin Kaylie feel asleep so we took advantage of it and drove all over the park. We ended up pulling over by the lake, rolling down the windows, getting out and taking this picture. The view was amazing. So peaceful and serene. I enjoyed having a minute to snuggle in nature with my husband.

After nap we all went back out to the park for some photo opportunities and some hiking.

I really love Jason and I in this picture.

This was a stage that was actually set up for a wedding later that evening. They kids took advantage of no one being on it and took it over making sure not to touch anything.

I am not sure what it was but all of a sudden the three of them broke out in a dance. So incredibly cute.

Can you picture them walking down the aisle in 20 years???

Our first hike through the woods. Jolie was super trooper with Lucas on her back. She did awesome. The trail we took ended up being a lot more challenging than anticipated so thankfully the kids did awesome. I was so impressed with all three of the kids and their ability to get up the trail.

Kaylie kept trying to run in front of everyone so she could be the "leader."

She insisted on doing airplane arms most of the way and got angry when we would not do them with her.

Thanks Jolie for this picture. I love it.

Right before we left the park we drove down to the damn to skip some rocks and watch some of the fisherman trout fishing using fly fishing poles. I have never watched anyone actually fly fish. With the river flowing the way it was I kept picturing the movie, "A River Runs Through It."

She liked skipping...I mean throwing rocks into the water. Personally, I like brown dog at the bottom of the picture. She threw him down so she could play. She has her priorities.

Wagon rides were the absolute coolest thing for them to do. The adults would spend a good amount of time driving them all around the house. I guess if it kept them happy it was worth it.

We had smores every night. I can not tell you the last time I had one. Brought back some great memories of my childhood.

These two pictures came from Jolie's camera. She takes amazing pictures. Thanks for letting me steal them.

This is what we all sat around enjoying each night. It was so incredibly relaxing sitting under the stars. It was the first time in a long time I was able to not think or be in my head. It is the first time I just sat and enjoyed.

Flash lights were a huge deal with the kiddos. Kaylie had two princess flash lights and her and Fletch loved playing with them. They also ended up with some glow sticks. That was Andrews toy of choice.

I am pretty sure she didn't put the flash light down all night. I had a hard time getting it away from her when it was time to go to sleep and then had to tell her when she woke up that they were napping and needed to rest until it was dark again. Surprisingly, this worked.
