Labor Day 2011
For the second year in a row, we spent Labor Day weekend with my parents in Broken Bow, OK at Beaver's Bend State Park. We stayed in a beautiful cabin and enjoyed a relaxing weekend on the lake and in the forest. On Saturday morning we rented some jet skis and a boat and spent the morning playing on the lake. In the afternoon, we all enjoyed napping, reading, and throwing rocks in the creek out behind the cabin. Then Scott grilled us some delicious steaks for dinner. My Mom and the girls decorated the dining room and threw me a little birthday party after dinner. Avery made me a birthday banner, the girls put confetti on the table, and we had chocolate-peanut butter cake balls. Delicious! Sunday we took a pontoon boat out on the lake and enjoyed tubing, swimming, and exploring. After naps and relaxing at the cabin in the afternoon, we enjoyed a pretty drive through the state park and took the girls to a playground to burn off some energy. That night we made s'mores over the grill (couldn't use the fire pit because of the burn ban) and then Scott and I relaxed in the hot tub after we put the kids to bed. There were a lot of trees around our cabin, so we couldn't see too many stars, but we did see a raccoon and a possum come up onto the porch. Not something you see everyday when you live in the city. It was so nice to get away for a weekend to enjoy some family time and reconnect with nature!
