Sequoyah Bay State Park, Oklahoma--August 17 & 18, 2009

From Lake Eufaula we drove about 50 miles north to Sequoyah Bay State Park in Oklahoma. We planned to spend 3 nights before completing the trip to Siloam Springs to see Bob's parents. The park was nice, but on a scale of 1-10, the playgrounds ranked a dismal 3. There were several playgrounds, but they either needed repair or there wasn't enough equipment to keep us happy. The area where we were camped only had 2 swings and 2 tire swings.


We stayed 2 nights, so our second day was spent exploring the portion of the park across the lake. There was a nice nature center--closed---but we were still able to see the animals behind the building. Chris and DeAnna like counting the turtles.

Our final count was 5 turtles in the pit area.

One of our favorite activities was walking to the lake to feed the geese. There was a mound we had to cross to get there.
The geese were normal, pushy geese. DeAnna found out that if you hold onto the bread too long, a goose will take it right out of your hand. There were also carp to feed by the floating store. Of course, we forgot the camera on these expeditions!

After packing up our belongings, we headed to Siloam Springs, Arkansas for a visit with Bob's parents--Chris and DeAnna's great grandparents.
