Oklahoma: The Trip! Day Four...

On our last day in Oklahoma we headed back to the national park for some swimming and relaxing. We walked some trails and splashed around in the water. Joseph was really into having us hold him and walk in the shallow areas, but not too into getting in by himself. That was ok...we got some good exercise, I guess.


This area is called Little Niagara and had several small water falls. Everyone was jumping in off of the falls and the water was ICE COLD. I didn't go in past my knees cause it just wasn't pleasant at all. After awhile, Josh figured he better jump in since that's what all the cool kids were doing. ;)


Does everyone else also wonder if he is thinking maybe this is a bad idea? Joseph was excited and that's all that counts, right?

Well, that and Josh making through ok, and without frost bite.

So we counted down for him...

...and although I would have loved to see a graceful swan dive, I didn't.


...maybe a swan flapping??


And there you have it folks! A not so graceful entry into a refreshing pool of spring water! A good time was had by all!

We got to see the wonderful sites, gaze at a bajillion stars (and even see a satellite wiz by in the night sky), listen to the deafening symphony of the tree frogs, read a little, play dominoes, and have our first Carl's Jr burger (it was soo good!).

I hope Joseph will have some memories of his first real family vacation. All in all, we give it two (or four....or six even) enthusiastic thumbs up!
