On Saturday, we spent the very chilly, drizzly morning on one of the beaches. The kids mostly played in the sand, as it was a little cold for swimming, and by lunch, they were so dirty, they required a shower before we could take them into the dining hall. After lunch, the boys napped for over three hours. In the meantime, the weather had greatly improved, and I headed down to the beach with some friends for a relaxing afternoon in my camp chair with my Kindle and a Diet Coke. After dinner, we took the boys back down to the beach so they could enjoy a quick swim before the evening bonfire, where we had a great time with friends and s'mores.
After breakfast on Sunday morning, we met at an overlook and had a church service together. Then it was time to hit the road for home. Eli was distraught that we were leaving. I think he thought we'd just live there forever. He keeps asking when we can go back.
Ryan and I are beginning to get the feeling that our days in Oklahoma could be numbered. We've been here nearly five years, as long as I've lived anywhere in my life, and we might be approaching time to move. While I usually enjoy moving, seeing new things, and meeting new people, leaving this church family will be very difficult. We'll see what the future holds.

The little boys were obsessed with trying to fill this tire up with sand.
Eli loved the water. It was so cold, but he was determined to get in.
Our campfire with friends. There were about 75 of us there, a really great group.
Clayton's s'more.
Cheese! The big boys loved wearing these headlamps. They can also switch to a red light which was very handy for keeping track of them after dark.
Happy camper.
At the cross. The lake was beautiful on Sunday morning.
All the kids. It was quite a bunch. I love that the older kids take such good care of the little ones when we're all together. They're such a great example to my boys.
