Another attempt at Oklahoma camping

We took off for the long weekend and headed an hour north to Kaw Lake.  Chad and Jordan had plans to go deer hunting, while the rest of us just tagged along for time away from home and school!
Kordale not only had his first camping trip but we even let him have that first taste of a fire roasted marshmallow.  I'm sure in due time he will make torches out of them just like his sisters do.  

 
We played hard and enjoyed being together.  



We gathered around the fire and had many laughs.  Some about times gone by and also in the moment.  
We were sure to make plenty of time for naps though, afterall isn't that what camping is all about?
 
Dad kept us toasty warm in the tent with his tent stove (hard to see but it's the shiny thing behind Kordale's head) and his Paul Bunyan skills. 
 
It was a great weekend of remembering how to work together and have FUN!!!

**No deer were killed in the making of these memories, maybe next year.

Oklahoma must be taking a toll on Chad, he looks like he's aged just since being gone from here. Must have been the ocean water keeping him young.

But the question is, were any rice krispies handed over to the deer? Those were some good times, right? We so need to do that together again!
