Ain't no mountain high enough

Views from atop Mt. Scot

We were very blessed this past week to have an unexpected family day.  Wednesday Honey D took the day off and we decided to take a road trip with the kids.  I did a little research and we headed out for the Wichita Mountains, but not before heading to Meers for a yummy Longhorn Burger.  

Growing up I always wished I lived in a more exciting place, but as I get older my feelings about Oklahoma are changing.  I love it here.  We have 4 distinct seasons that each offer their own beauty and change, it is a place I feel safe raising my family and after having made a few trips to NYC over the past 2 years I can appreciate OKC even more.  What a wonderful thing to be able to open you front OR back door and go outside onto green grass and lovely trees in your own private yard.  I never understood the fuss over Central Park until I visited New York.  (they have no yards so they have to go to the "central" park)  

If you are reading this and you live in OKC just know you are blessed.  We have so many great places to explore here too(the Oklahoma Tourism Council should hire me- aye).

It was a bit scary at the top looking down, but breath taking.

The kids had fun climbing, but man was it windy!

Honey T had the most fun playing in what ever bit of water he could find

This prairie land is a bit of the remaining untouched original.

(notice the little birdie sitting on the rock co-habitating with the massive buffalo)

Beautiful water fall at Medicine Park

Lots to explore

Sittin' on the dock of the bay - or something like that

We didn't bring our swim suits but we made the most of it

I didn't even bring an extra change of clothes for the kids, so they rode home in their undies!

What a fun day we had.  We plan to travel Oklahoma every few months and thanks to my blog you can experience each adventure with us.
