Camping Trip.



Since we have moved here to Oklahoma, we have had the opportunity to visit with my parents more often. We love seeing them! We always seem to have a great time, no matter what comes our way. 
Take last weekend for example.

No offense to the weather “people” {to be politically correct} in Oklahoma and Arkansas, but from our experiences they don’t seem have a hold on their predictions. Some days they can say sunny with a light breeze and it will be the total opposite- pouring rain. So when they threatened with a 30% chance for rain a couple weekends ago, my parents, Jason, and I all agreed not to threatening. So we planned a camping trip!

With the fishing license purchased and blankets packed, Jason and I headed after work and dinner on Friday night to Beaver, Arkansas to meet my parents. They are so sweet. We got to the camp site after dark and they had already completely set up camp, bass fish string lights included. Classy. Of course the boys immediately went to the edge of the water for a few casts before bed time. When we awoke the next morning… rain. Not just rain though lightening and thunder so loud it shook you. So I guess the weather “person” was more right than us, this time.

All the rain didn’t phase the boys though. My parents recently made a road trip on their 1978 Honda Goldwing, one necessity they needed was weather proof/waterproof suits—Frog Toggs to be exact. They are awesome. The guys literally stood in the POURING rain for a couple of hours and were kept completely dry wearing these gems. Jason and I decided we need to purchase a couple of suits for ourselves someday.

While the boys were off fishing Mom and I packed up as much of camp as we could.
After about 3 hours of rain, the girls couldn’t take any more.

Our alternative was “camping” out in the living room watching a movie. Mush better choice than literally camping in the rain. {yuck}

After getting dry and warm, the next day we decided to brave the weather to go bowling and go cart racing. {fun!} After all of our adventures, like I said before, we still had a great time! 

Trying to stay dry & warm with me. 

No matter the weather, that's still a beautiful view!

Sean says no good. Jason doesn't know what to think.

Fishin' buddies.

Little family.

That pink dot, yes pink, is Jason fishing. Beautiful scenery.

Our Alternative to being outside.
