Broken Bow Thanksgiving

We've been planning this trip to Broken Bow, OK for Thanksgiving since last Thanksgiving.  We got the great idea last year and wanted to go, but all the cabins were booked up.  Nana booked this beautiful cabin in January 2016 for our Thanksgiving!  

The cabin is so luxurious and just perfect for the family.  We could have even fit more people!  The fire ring, horseshoes, shuffleboard, and hot tub were so nice.  The kids had a blast as well as the adults!  I told Neil that I can't believe we've never been here considering it's only 3 hours from home.  This will be our go-to getaway location...I hope!

We brought the jeep and their bikes. 

We brought this remote control car that's been sitting in the closet and Bennett loved it!

So excited to be here!

Neil immediately got to work on the fire.  The cabin came with firewood, but it was green so the fire was hard to start.  That didn't stop Neil!

Horseshoes were a hit.

They kept getting stuck and would all have to help push it out.

The Fire Starter.

Rebecca did Sarah Kathryn's make-up a couple times and they both thought it was the best thing ever.

Lots of snuggling together with the iPad. 

These boots are her favorite!!

The fire was so nice.

YAY!   A family picture by the fire.

Hot-Tub Turkeys!  Neil went to get Henry's bathing suit on and he couldn't find it.  Neil told Henry to just wear his undies.  Henry was naked and said "I don't want to wear my underwear in the hot tub, I'm going to ask Mom where my bathing suit is!" Naked.  Neil said "you will go outside naked, but you won't wear underwear in the hot tub?" yep.

Rebecca and Daniel made an apple pie and it only took 8 hours.  Here's Daniel slicing and peeling all the apples.

Crust making!

Making the lattice work

The pie looks exactly like the Southern Living recipe!

Time for the fun away from the cabin.

We went and rode a fun train through the state park.

It was so cute!

Henry fell asleep on the couch so we took turns holding him.  It's not everyday you get to hold a sleeping 5 year old.

We ate pizza at the delicious Grateful Head.  We had to sit outside so thankfully Rebecca has these hats for us to wear!  All the Lewis girls in one picture right here!

After the train, we split up in 2 cars and ended up just with Henry.  We took him to the look-out and it was nice to just spend time with him alone.  We learned that he needed to use the bathroom.  "I need to poop and pee...together...because they are friends." aight.

Our delish Thanksgiving meal!  Bennett took the pic and I look like a fat oompa loompa.

We took Bennett on the Duck boat!  We ended up going on the last ride of the year.  They won't go back out until March!

Bennett got to drive the duck!

Sweet Duck Selfie!

What a wonderful vacation!  It was so nice to get away and just relax and do whatever we wanted for a few days.  Neil said that if we would have been at home we would have been at home we would have felt like we had to do the yard, clean, or decorate for Christmas.  It was nice to have not 1 obligation.
