Simple Gifts: Tenkiller State Park

Over the last four days my family and I went on a wonderful adventure. We decided that this year we would rent a cabin about two hours east of us. The location, Tenkiller State Park. This park was gorgeous! We had fantastic lake views, with birds, fall leaves in the height of their splendor, and all the included woodland creatures. It was wonderful!!

The whole family went fishing, despite our lack of fish, we had a great time! Nicolas learned about the small "feet prints" in the mud, and was able to tell me which were deer, and which were birds. He cast his own line from his very own spider man fishing pole. Fa and I had our own grown up version, and I must say Fabricio is a natural.

Samantha and her brother had loads of fun. They played foot ball, tag, and another game in which they scared mami half to death, because they both nearly went down a very steep hill. In fact, mami demonstrated her baseball skills and slide into home to rescue poor Samantha from a backwards roll down said hill. Other than that small scare, my children and husband were perfect students as we explored Tenkiller State Park. The nickname for the park is Heaven in the Hills, and I must say, this small part of the Ozark Mountains, was exactly that.
