Adventures at Lake Eufaula, Oklahoma--August 14-16, 2009

Lake Ray Roberts was a great park with playgrounds, swimming, fishing, boating, hiking trails, horse trails and nature center. We enjoyed our stay, but it was time to move to a new park. We headed toward Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma. First stop, the Oklahoma Welcome Center.
We ate a picnic lunch. The kids 'rode' the stage coach.
Then it was off to find Lake Eufaula and our campsite. Bob made reservations so we would be sure to have a site, but this reservation didn't work out! Online, the information for site 8 said it would accommodate a 50 foot rig when is actuality, the max length was 24 feet! We had to change sites and ended up with one closer to the playground! Even though it was a weekend, the campground didn't fill!
During rest time, Christopher liked putting the bug puzzle together. The beetles fit in many different ways!DeAnna kept beat on her drum.
Outside, they played on the playground and threw rocks in the water. Chris learned how to skim rocks. When they look for rocks, Chris looks for skimmers and DeAnna looks for splashers.We enjoyed our time at Lake Eufaula. It is the largest lake in Oklahoma.
From Lake Eufaula we planned to stop at another lake in Oklahoma, but this time we would stay at a state park instead of an Army Corps of Engineers Park.
