Camping with the Family

 All the family that could come finally made it into Natural Falls SP, but so did the rains. It was a bit of a soggy time, but didn't put a damper on everyone's spirits. We all had a good time and actually got to do some activities between the showers.

 Three Generations, Sheryl, her daughter and grand daughter.

 Sheryl's son teaching our grand daughter how to fish. We also did some hiking, exploring, disk golf and of course fishing (not much luck on the fishing though).

At the end of the little lake, we found the dam with a nice cascade on the other side.

It was a good time getting everyone together and a much needed break for them. Everyone had to leave today along with the rest of the campers in the park, so now it's pretty deserted (ahhhh nice and quiet again). Tomorrow we leave and head back to OKC for one final doctors appointment. We are looking at just staying a week there, then have plans to spend some time touring Arkansas and maybe some of  Missouri. We will have a couple of month's to kill before we have to be back in OKC so we didn't want to go far. We both really liked the time we spent in Arkansas last time and are looking forward to exploring some more of the state.
Ok, that's all for now, and we'll see you back here again next time.........................

Natural Falls S.P. Oklahoma

 After our stay in Carthage MO, we made the short trip south to Natural Falls State Park in Eastern Oklahoma. It's a very nice park with lots of activities, from Hiking and fishing to Disk Golf and a playground for the kids. Of course the main attraction is the Falls, but we'll get to that in a minute.

 Our primary reason for being here was to meet some of the family for a short but well deserved getaway for them. They all needed a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and work (ahhhhh I remember those days). The campsites are nicely paved and level with well wooded sites and plenty of space between them. Above is our rig and our sons camper. We'll have more on the get together in the next post.
Now on to the main attraction and the parks namesake Natural Falls.

 It's small pool area the falls cascade into with a stream leading out to a long thin lake. Since pictures speak volumes i'll leave you with a few of the area.

Hope you enjoyed, so until next time......................................
