The first day, I wanted to take Chase to see his first 'beach'...it was set in a perfectly protected cove, and was really beautiful.
He and Allison(his cousin) had a great time splashing, throwing rocks, and looking at dead fish that washed on the beach--one downside to a cove!
...He was way to excited to pose for a family pic. :)
It's not a camping trip until you get to roast marshmallows...
Chillin' by the campfire...
We went hiking, and with my ever-vigilant 'mom radar' I found this little bitty turtle stuck in the mud---Chase was brave, and held it. Then he and daddy took him back to the water.

We also found a great vantage point of Lake Texoma, it was a 30ft. cliff though (I was OVERLY protective of the kiddos here...)

On our last day, the kids took to the trees....great pics!


We really did have a great time, but I think next year will be even better....once Chase increases that attention span...and sees that being in the tent can be really fun. (we stayed in a screened shelter this time) More hiking, more fishing, more wondering of the beauty we are blessed to live in-I truly look forward to that! :)
