Our Day Out at Turner Falls

We decided to take a day trip to Turner Falls in Davis, Oklahoma.
Everett walking carefully on slippery boulders and Grammy trying hard not to fall and/or lose a flip-flop.  It's not as easy as it looks.  Today we saw minnows, crawdads, pollywogs, frogs, dragonflies, squirrels, birds and lots of bees.
Ev and I taking the stairs up to tour Collins Castle.
Can you find Emory & Grammy?  If you can spot Emory's red stroller, you found them.
 Everett loves finding flowers to pick.  Luckily he only picked this one today.
 Ev and I walking through the low water crossing to get to the falls.
 Grammy braves the frigid water.
Emory loves splashing in the frigid water.
 There were lots of crazy people swimming in the frigid water.

 Grammy gave the boys each a bug collecting kit; complete with a magnify glass and a set of tweezers.  Today Ev demonstrated his exceptional bug collecting skills by catching a beetle with his fingers.  No tweezers required.  Way to go Everett! 
 We definitely deserved an icecream and sno-cone break today.
Collecting sticks is always so much fun when you're in nature.
 and so is walking through caves.
 I absolutely LOVE how much Everett loves nature. 
I am looking forward to many more adventures with our boys. 
 It's time I get back into "backpacking" shape. :) 

 On our way home, we stopped at the Visitor's Center at the border, for a potty break and a couple of pictures. 

A wonderful day with our wonderful family.
