We went to Turner Falls, which is located in Oklahoma, just an hour and a half north of Roanoke. We had a great time hiking, looking at the old castles, playing in the river, and watching the kids enjoy the waterfall and beach sand. Cooper had a blast and I loved watching him smile as he ran through the water.
The water was pretty cold, but it didn't slow Cooper down. He even jumped into a little swimming hole and waded out in the water up to his chest. At one point, he tripped and went down into the water. When he came up, he started crying, and said, "mom, I drowned for a little bit."
Uncle Shayne took him across the little lake and Cooper thought that was neat. Sherrie had a killer headache but still managed to help me with Clayton. Clayton wasn't quite sure about the water. He would stand in it but didn't want to sit in it.
We sat on the side of the river in the shade while the kids played in the water. Cooper thought it was neat to float down the river in a little tube. He did it over and over again!
The river was perfect because it wasn't too deep and the kids could run and play in it with out us being right by their side. Turner Falls is a place that I would definately like to go to again. Thanks Shayne and Jen for suggesting the idea.

Thanks for a fun day. It was neat to take you to Turner Falls and see how much fun Cooper had. Now you know that we have mountains close to us too.
Very cute! Thanks for making it a priority to come and see us! We always love our time with you. I'm so glad my children feel completely comfortable and at ease with you!
