Beaver’s Bend, that is. Susan’s back from her four-day stint in Vegas, and after less than a day home we’re on the road again — this time, it’s all four of us. This weekend we’re hanging out in a cabin in Beaver’s Bend, Oklahoma. It’s a four-hour drive to the cabin, but the trip was made significantly more pleasant since I brought the Xbox along. Mason played Lego Star Wars II almost the entire trip. We had a very pleasant stop along the way in Antlers at my Uncle Kenny’s place. My cousin David and his wife (who is expecting! Yay!) happened to be there visiting as well. Aunt Barbara cooked dinner (briskit, meatloaf, and veggies) and man did it hit the spot. There’s two things you don’t normally get on vacatiion — home cookin’, and free food! We got to the cabin (after narrowly missing a deer on the highway) around 7pm or so last night.
Also along for the trip is Susan’s mom Liz, Susan’s sister Becky, Becky’s boyfriend Joe, Becky’s kids Dylan, Katie, and Jessica, and Jessica’s boyfriend Will. They drove two additional cars, at met us at the cabin late last night. It’s a two bedroom/two story cabin, but even so we needed the hide-a-bed and two additional queen-size inflatable mattresses to sleep everyone.
This morning, ten of the eleven people here headed out to the Diamond Dig state park. (That’s not it’s official name, but it’s the park that allows you to dig for diamonds.) Three guesses as to who stayed in the cabin …! The park is two hours east of here; assuming they dig for around four hours, that’s eight hours I’ll have to kill around the cabin. Whatever on earth shall I do …
