Summer Field Trip: Turner Falls

On 6/4/15 we went to Turner Falls. It is one of my favorite State Parks in Oklahoma! It is green and lush and oh so beautiful! A little background on Turner Falls before I get to the details of our trip. I pulled this from their website (www.turnerfallspark.com),

  "Turner Falls Park is nestled below the famous Arbuckle Mountains

 and forms Honey Creek, which then cascades down a 

seventy-seven (77) foot fall to a natural swimming 

pool making the majestic Turner Falls the largest 

waterfall in Oklahoma. The Park has been a 

recreational area since 1868 as it is accented 

with beautiful picnic areas, nature trails, caves, 

geological wonders, and two natural swimming 

pools very unique in nature."

Unfortunately the waterfall was closed due to flooding. We were fortunate enough to have my sis-in-law Karri join us from Texas (YAY!!!). When we got to Turner Falls we changed into our swimsuits and hit the river, the kids enjoyed floating down the river.

After we played in the water for awhile we had lunch and then set off to hick up to the castle ruins. Although Remingon decided he didn't want to walk so I ended up having to carry both babies. Oh the joys of mamahood!

We had a lot of fun and can't wait for our next field trip! Until then y'all should check out Turner Falls!
