G's wish for his birthday this year- I want to go camping and have birthday dinner at the campout. So away we went. Nothing like trying to predict weather in late-February. It was warm and pleasant all week, then rained off and on and temperatures hovered in the low 50's all day Saturday. Only a slight bummer. We arrived in time for dinner on Friday night about the same time Grandaddy got there. We got set up, had some burgers and got tucked in to bed. 
It rained much of the night, but cleared out in the morning. We had pancakes and sausage and enjoyed the campfire. We did some exploring and bike riding until C and C and kids arrived. It was lots of fun having the cousins around. We took them down to the fossil trail and hunted for fossils. We also visited one of our favorite nature centers. The kids all enjoyed checking out all of the skulls, bones, scat, live snakes and other treasures.
I've included a couple pictures from our previous visit of the outside critters at the nature center. It was raining this visit so we didn't get many outside pictures. The coyote is a favorite since he lets the kids pet him. The beaver also begs for food. They also have an eagle, owl and two foxes. All of the animals here have been rescued and for various reasons, cannot be put back in the wild.
Saturday night, the rain cleared long enough to make a really big fire. We had some dutch oven jambalaya for birthday dinner followed by lots of smores.
You never can predict weather in Oklahoma...Sunday morning the sun was out and it warmed up into the mid 60's. Oh well. At least it was dry and warm for tear down. Happy 10th birthday G!
