Broken Bow, OK

We had a wild hair last week and decided to make a spontaneous weekend trip to Broken Bow, Oklahoma last weekend. We went to Broken Bow for the first time when I was 20 weeks pregnant with Brookelynn. I had forgotten how beautiful it is. It is only 3 hrs from Dallas and you feel like you are thick in the heart of Colorado...with a beautiful lake to top everything off. It was still a little cold to swim in the lake but Brady and Bailey had a great time fishing on Saturday. It rained a little on Saturday morning but the sun was out by 11 to make for a beautiful day.
Brookelynn loves her cousin, Carson, so much. She loves taking care of him and helping with his pacifier. Here are the babies with uncle Brady.

After Brookelynn's nap we got her swimsuit on to play with some water. I know...sounds like so much fun, but it kept her busy for a good hour! She loves anything that has to do with water and cooking. Next time we come we will definitely take a small pool for her to play in.

Alex, Carson, Brookelynn and I ventured out for a walk that afternoon but it was a little to mountainous for us. It was a beautiful walk but we decided we didn't need to go to far because the further that we went from the cabin, the larger the hills were. Pushing two babies up a hill in a stroller is quite a workout!

On Sunday Bailey, Brookelynn and I went out on the lake for a little bit. It was a little chilly so we bundled up and headed out to catch some fish!

Sweet girl in Carson's lifejacket. She loves being on the boat.

We went to the dam to catch a few Perch. They were biting like crazy and Brookelynn loved seeing them reeled in, taken off of the hook, then letting them go (bye bye).

We were a littel worried that she would want to get out of the boat as soon as we got on but she was very content driving the boat and fishing with dad.

Our awesome cabin. The lake is a little different because there are no lakehouses on the lake so they are scattered all through the woods. Majority of the ones that I have seen are very cool and have a lot of character. Bailey found this one for us and got us a great last minute deal. It was so nice and VERY clean. We will definitely go back!

Back porch with a hot tub...looking forward to sitting in there on our next trip.

After our fishing trip it was time to clean the boat. Brookelynn loves to help her Dad.

Family picture time! We had to make sure that the Skeeter was in the background. :)

Big family picture! Carson's first trip!
