Robber's Cave 2008

The McClendons (Can someone show me how to rotate a picture once it's attached???)


We hooked up with the Clossers and headed to Oklahoma for some campin' fun! OK, we really weren't "roughing it" (we had cabins with fresh linens and hot showers), but we did enjoy the scenery outside! It was beautiful, perfect weather. The campers next to us said they've been trying to reserve the spot years in the past but couldn't get one - so they reserve a year in advance now! We need to get on board for next year - we definitely want to go again. The boys had a blast. And as for Avery, well, she's the daughter I never had. Hope to make her a McClendon one day! She would LOVE her in-laws...great idea, don't you think Stace? And that would be one heck of a wedding reception! OK, sorry, getting ahead of myself here...



Back to camping. We had a blast watching movies on the way down (5 kids in the rear with me driving and Stacey riding shotgun...FUN!). We tried to get Jack, Carson and Jonah to sleep together in a tent in the living room, but that didn't work (Jonah was WAY too feisty). Anyway, we hiked a 3 mile trail Saturday, cooked smores over a campfire at night, made homemade "hillbilly fishing poles" with which Carson and Jack each caught 2 fish! So, as you can tell, we had a BLAST! And little Creed was such a trooper. He had a tough time sleeping the first night (I think he got up like 7 times), but did much better the second night. He spent the majority of the weekend in the baby carrier, close to Mommy.
CLOSSERS+MCCLENDONS+CAMPING=FUN!
