Camping With Grandsons

We loaded Luca and Vincent into the RV on Wednesday morning and left their parents at home to enjoy some quiet time, to maybe even celebrate their 17th anniversary by themselves.
Erin had made reservations for us at Fort Cobb State Park not too far from Lawton. This park has several campgrounds around Fort Cobb Lake, most of which are still closed for the winter. Its a pretty lake with a golf course, marina, fishing dock, and some hiking.

These two boys are very active! Once we got settled they wanted to go fishing, throw rocks into the lake, take a hike, play on the playground and play a game all at once! They settled for the playground, dinner, then a nice fire. Thursday we went on a 2 mile hike, picked up trash, threw rocks, explored some woods and played card games. Mom and Dad showed up in time for supper and another fire perfect for making s'mores.


On Friday we packed picnic lunches and drove to nearby Red Rock Canyon State Park where we hiked two nature trails and along the park road, logging almost 4 miles of walking. But it is a very pretty park where we enjoyed the scenery and nature and it wore the boys out!


Last night and this morning it was very windy. John and I were worn out from being blown around yesterday and today so didn’t want to do much but by this afternoon the wind had died down, the sun came out and it was a pretty afternoon made for wondering around, skipping rocks and playing games like bean bag toss and a frisbee game. We again had a roaring fire to end the day. Tomorrow we’ll head home.
