We took a trip this weekend to Lake Murray in Oklahoma. The ride up wasn't as bad as I expected. The kids were really good. When we turned onto the street with the cabins I was a little freaked out, it looked scary. I didn't feel any better when I went to grab the keys and check in. When I opened the door I was greeted by the smell of something old and wooden. It reminded me of the way my grandmas moth ball filled closet smelled. The surrounding lake area was beautiful.
I was pleasantly surprised when we opened the door to our cabin. It was cute, updated with a flat steen tv, and it was clean!
After we got all of our stuff unloaded we went to the beach area and rented a boat. Casey took turns taking the kids for rides while the others stayed behind and played in the water. There was a cute little water park set up with trampolines and slides but I couldn't bring myself to pay $10 per hour, per kid seemed like a waste. When we got done we headed back into town for dinner and ice cream at Braums. Yum!
We spent the rest of the afternoon out in the lake enjoying a break from the heat! What I loved about this lake is that they net off the swimming area so there were no fish, which I'm afraid of. Something else I really liked was how clear the water was. You could see all the way to the bottom.
I enjoyed being able to sit outside in the dark with Casey and Joelie listening to the bugs. So peaceful!
Later that night when we were all snuggled in bed we were scared shitless when the smoke detector went off! Apparently the air conditioner overheated. It made for a hot night with just one wall unit trying to keep the whole cabin cool but it sure beat sleeping outside in a tent!
This morning when we got up to get ready to leave we were reminded that we were in the middle of nowhere by all the bugs that camped out with us. They were everywhere!!
Overall we had a good time. I'm sure we will do it again one day.
