Mom and Dads Escape!

After a long night at Six Flags, Jared and I went up to Oklahoma and checked out a few sites. It was really fun. We hiked up on some trails in some different places. We first went to Chickasaw National Park and went through some natural springs. The water was of course cold and beautiful. Crystal clear. It was fun to be out outdoors and not feel like we were melting. Not to mention the scenery was beautiful. After that we went up and saw An antique Tractor show. It was hilarious, I felt so country watching these tractors race... to see who could idle the slowest. We walked around and checked out all the tractors. I've never seen so many old people in overalls!! Good country Folk, all of them so nice! Then we headed up to Turner Falls Park. It was awesome! We are taking the kids next time because they have a ton of shallow spots to let the kids splash around in. They had a huge slide and just a great out doors area! We stayed over night in a little cabin and Slept in! Yeah, but we still got up at 8, but that was sleeping in! Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kiddos!

Jared actually jumped in the freezing water!

Turner Falls is SO GORGEOUS! I used to go there with my girl scout troop when I was little, and I couldn't get over how clear the water was.
