Weekend at the Lake (Kinda)

This Labor Day weekend, Justin and I were able to go spend some time with my family down in the Arbuckles. We decided to get up on Saturday and go visit the Arbuckle Wilderness. This is my second time there and I loved it! It's kind of a sad little place if you really think about it - those poor animals who beg for food each and every day...but I'm not choosing to think that and instead think those animals are hilarious!!! They have no boundaries or personal space when it comes to sticking their head in your car after food.

This camel stole my full cup straight from my hand. This is him guzzling it out.





After almost wetting our pants laughing at these animals, we went to Davis and checked out a few shops. Then we were finally able to check into our cute little cabin that we rented for the next two nights. Justin was able to go fishing for a bit, everyone was able to relax. It was great! We cooked out and had some really yummy steaks.


Sunday we were thinking about renting a boat and chilling on the lake for a hour or four, but we didn't reserve the boat in time and instead we went to the Chickasaw National Recreational Park. We found a great little swimming spot but that water was so cold I think all of our lips were blue after 2 seconds! Eli really enjoyed it though so after lunch we went and found another stream to dip our feet in.


That night we went out to dinner and then back to the cabin for smores! My sister is a genius and brought Reese's AND Hershey's...the Reese's smores were DIVINE!

Ahh family pic in front of the cabin before galavanting off to find Stratford peaches and a catfish lunch. Aren't we cute.

Looks like fun and brings back memories! We did this same exact thing a few years ago! Rented a cabin down near Turner Falls and hung out around the area during Labor Day weekend! Aren't the animals at Arbuckle crazy?!? Glad ya'll had fun!
