The Week In Pictures - March 20th

     This week was spring break for us.  I was SO ready for it and had big plans for all of the things that I was going to accomplish.  And almost none of my 'list' got done. Looking back, I now realize that I had completely unrealistic expectations of how the week was going to go.  Ha. Funny how things work that way sometimes.  All in all, it was a good week, though. We stuck close to home and enjoyed time with friends and explored new places. 

     Spring has definitely sprung here in Oklahoma.  We enjoyed beautiful weather the first part of the week.  The cold has come back for a few days, though--seems like it happens this way EVERY year--and scarf weather is not quite past us!

October Favorite Things: Exploring and The Great Outdoors

This afternoon, the boys and I were able to enjoy two of my most favorite things...exploring new places and being outside!!  We visited Spavinaw State Park for the first time.  The boys enjoyed exploring and catching crayfish and other critters, while I took pictures and skipped rocks.  It was a much needed getaway!

Catching Crayfish!

Exploring!

I love to explore new places, to take in the beauty of God's creation, to be out in nature.  This past weekend my boys had a couple of days off of school.  The break was much needed!  We spent time fishing, playing outside, reading books, hanging out with family, etc.  And we explored Robbers Cave State Park, a state park that we had never been to before! It's not too far from where we live right now, and it is a beautiful park.  We all had a blast climbing the rocks and exploring the caves!
