Western Hills Lodge

Last weekend we met up with David's family at Western Hills Lodge in Oklahoma. We had a great weekend visiting and catching up with all his family. David would go to Western Hills every year with his Grandparents when he was a boy. So it was fun for David to walk down memory lane.

The kids had a great time playing with cousins and great cousins. They are excited to plan a trip back. Here is Kaili (4) and Connor (2)....David's sisters kids. Kaili and Corbin play SO well together...they use their imagination and can play on their own ALL day...it is great. Corbin always misses Kaili for several days after they part.

Western Hills has a small Science/Nature Center on their campus with some animals...the kids loved it. This beaver... named "Chloe" was enjoying a snack.Here is Lance (David's cousin) holding a Speckled Kingsnake for Corbin to touch. Corbin said, "I was a little scared at first, but the worker told me he doesn't bite!" This little guy was a highlight. We got to visit with the possum twice while we were there. Her name was "Itsy Bitsy" and the Center has raised her since she was a baby. She was so sweet....EVEN Mama loved on her. Chloe kept calling her "Poss....Poss!"

Pony Rides were fun! The best part was watching David lead a "stubborn" pony. Just Kidding...David is always the Dad of the year...stepping in and isn't afraid of a little stubborn pony. :)This is David's cousin (Jennifer) the kids just adore her. Chloe saw this picture when we got home and kept pointing to it and saying, "Jenny, Jenny, Jenny!"Here is Corbin and Grandpa as we are packing up and getting ready to leave.
Before we left we had time for Lance to take Corbin on one of the nature trails. He thought Lance was pretty cool.Chloe, Jenny and I had time for some swinging. Below are a few pictures I couldn't leave out....what a great trip for some needed family time.
