Family Reunion Time

We went to spend our traditional long weekend at the lake in Oklahoma, but had anything but our traditional experience. I summed it up pretty well on our Sunday School blog:

What I learned in Hugo, OK (Pop. 5536)

• Even though I'm a laid back mom, playing in a campfire pit CAN be dangerous. Someone could end up with ash in the eyes, for example.
• Firepit ashes can scratch the cornea.
• When in doubt about a medical condition, you can ask for help from the Wal-Mart pharmacist.
  
• A small town can actually have a fabulous eye doctor.
  
• It's a good thing I carry my health AND prescription insurance cards in my wallet.
  
• The best way to get eye drops into a toddler's eye (besides while he is sleeping--yeah right!) is to lay him down and have him close his eyes. When he opens up, the drop goes right in!
  
• Mom really does know best. And by that, I mean MY mom even though it sometimes makes me mad.
  
• Family vacations make me tired. (Well alright, I already knew that, but had to reiterate).

In addition, we got to check out the local, happenin' scene in Boswell during Rodeo Days. We just missed the morning parade, but got to partake of the free barbecue. Later that night, we endured high-speed wind, rain, and thunder. And that's about the extent of our entertainment options in Hugo, OK. It's a good thing the cabins had plenty of spoons.
