Project Breakaway Vaca: Day 2

Good Morning, Petit Jean State Park

First thing’s first, blogging (Project Breakaway Day 1) and coffee! I got up about 6:30 AM, and started writing about our adventures yesterday, then Teresa got up and made some excellent coffee on the stove of her Little Guy (a very nifty camping toy). During and after coffee time I made some Morning Star Breakfast Biscuits for my kiddo and I, and then we 3 prepared for an early morning 2 mile hike down and up Cedar Falls Trail, one of the highlights of Petit Jean State Park.

An Oklahoma Spring: May 2015

I don’t think you will hear many Oklahoma residents say they look forward to Spring. If they do, it is solely for the facts that winter will be over and gardeners get to plant.
