Back from camp.
The whole family joined some of kiddo's cubscout troop this weekend for a family camp out at Camp George Thomas in SW Oklahoma. It was lots of fun and the weather was just right. Overnight lows were in the 40s and highs were in the low 70s.
We left at lunchtime Friday and stopped at a pumpkin patch on our way down. Saturday we were up at 6.30 and on the go with crafts, nature scavenger hunts, a hike and a tractor ride. The theme of camp this year was France so we learned some French history too. The food was ok, not great but the kids ate most of it. I brought a can of tuna since I knew I'd never get them to eat spaghetti and meat sauce for Saturday dinner.
I heard coyote, elk and owls from our tent in the wee hours of Saturday. Saturday night was windier so we didn't hear critters but it kept the tent a lot drier from condensation which was a bonus for packing up on Sunday morning.
We headed a little further south Sunday for a family hike in the Wichita Mountains. The kids managed to get to the top of a hill called Little Baldy. All too soon it was time to come home, Daddy has work today.
The kids are off school today for their last day of fall break and I am too. Hopefully I'll get caught up with my photos!
