A Day With Dakota & Katie

We went over to the kids house yesterday and had a great day. Started off we just went to Wal-Mart and picked up some hoses to finish hooking up bathroom new faucet Katie was replacing. Then Dakota wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese, So you all know where we went next. Yep grampa is a big sucker and off to Chuck E Cheese we went. Had a great time. I took a few pics for all to see.

After that we went out to the campgrounds and just hung out. While there I hooked up the bike stroller. At first Dakota didn't want anything to do with it. After I got her to go for the first ride you couldn't get her out, so we went around and around and around and around and around and around the campgrounds. LOL After that we grilled some chicken and had a good meal with them. Took them home alittle after dark. IT WAS A GREAT DAY.

We're in Texas

We left Oklahoma at 8:30am Friday 11/28. IT was sad to leave,as we became close to the kids in the five weeks we were there. But it was time to move on.

We arrived in Lampasas Texas at 2:30pm. It was a nice drive. Not alot of traffic, which surprised me seeing how it was Black Friday. The rout we took US281 all the way from Lawton,Ok. to Lampasas,Tx. Alot of small towns, but no big ones that draws all those shoppers, thank god.

The campgrounds is really nice. It is very laid back and easy going. Very friendly owners and guest. Very pet friendly. It has chickens running around. One camper has a pet pygmy goat that thinks it is human. Dogs and cats just roam free but well mannered so they are not a nuisance. I think we are going to enjoy our stay here.

The landscaping is nice. You can see they take pride in their park. I put some pics in to show the park and our lot. The one pic of the building is the laundry and bath house. Although it looks small from the pic it is real nice.

We went to see Katie and Dakota last night and had a good visit. Dakota wanted to go home with us so we took her and tried to keep her the night. NOT. At 10:00pm it was MOMMY time and home we went. LOL. WE tried. She had fun till then playing with puzzles and coloring. Even played hide and seek with us. Lots of fun having the grand kids around.

Staying on a Army Post

Staying on the Fort Sill Army Post can be noisy at times. We aren't very far off the area that they practice artillery. We hear daily gun fire and alot of bigger stuff that I don't know what it is. Helicopters all the time and sometimes they practice shooting their guns just over the hill from where we are. What really got are attention was the jets flying right over head, then the really big boom right after the passed. They were dropping bombs just over the hill from us. Now that will get your attention quick. The whole area shakes and you can feel the percussion thru your body. Denise was freakin out. I told her to relax, they weren't mad at us and I think that they are good shots.

Here's some pics that you can see how close the bombs were and some helicopters.

Another Week IN Oklahoma

Well we survived another week in Oklahoma. The grand kids spent the weekend and Tuesday night. Wednesday we took the boat out on Lake Elmer Thomas. It's a beautiful lake that is alot bigger that it looks from the campgrounds. It is an idle only lake, so it took a while to get around it.

We got over to the north side and Jake asked what that was. He was pointing at a Buffalo. It was standing on the edge of the lake and was not afraid of us at all. We went back to the truck because we forgot the camera. Got the camera and went back to the buffalo and took some pics. We also took some of the Long Horns grazing near by.

The weather has been beautiful, in the mid to high 70's every day. Some days the wind is gusty but alot better than rain or SNOW !!! LOL

Oh ya Denise's cactus is doing good.
