Broken Bow Mother's Day Get Away

We had the best weekend getaway in Broken Bow with the Nelson family for Mother's Day.  I desperately needed to get out of town.   After months of sheltering in place, we are slowing getting back to a new normal, which means sports and activities are just around the corner.  We will be making up spring sports throughout the summer, and adding on our summer sports.  Mother's Day weekend was our last free weekend for months and we took full advantage of it!

We've only been to Broken Bow in March so going in May opened up new fun things for us to do, in addition to our staples!  The most fun part was hanging at the beautiful house with all the family!  Lots of good quality time, laughs and memories made.

Unpacked the car and went straight to play corn-hole



These are the first pictures we have with nana and grandpa with ALL the grand kids.  Look at all those smiles!  Framers for sure.


No trip to Broken Bow is complete without daily hot tub fun!

We loved our spring break canoe trip so much we had to do it again!  Spring break was chilly and rainy so a sunny morning was a great change!

Sadie lived the dream and joined our canoe trip.  She was a little unsettled at first so Jackson had to be in charge of the steering but she quickly relaxed and enjoyed the scenery!







After canoeing we went hiking while the Miller boys did a little fishing.  Love my hiking buddies!

Could not love this picture more!  Love that Sadie and Harper have the same squinty eyes and big smile!

We also had to make a return to the Hochatown escape rooms!  Always on the top of Jackson's list!
Hot dogs on the fire are a must as well!
The next morning we went on a guided pontoon fishing trip!  This was our first time on the lake and it was beautiful!  The lake was so calm and peaceful which made for the perfect Mother's Day morning!  We also got to celebrate Jett's 3rd birthday on the boat!

Happy group of boys!

Mason could fish ALL day EVERY day!!!!  I could definitely see him living in Colorado later in life!




All fishing bets ended with 10 pushups!  Looks like Jackson lost this one!


The boys were super excited for this catch!  It was ~18 inch stripper.  Pretty exciting reeling this one in!




Couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day with this crew!  They are looking way too old!

We always go on extensive Big Foot hunts while in Broken Bow and look who we found this trip . . .
Sadie even got in on the nightly card games!  This dog!!!!

Broken Bow is a little slice of heaven in Oklahoma!  Loved our weekend escape with the family!  We don't know what vacations will look like this summer with Covid so we will take what we can get!

Jackson's first tooth lost

Jackson has been wiggling his first loose tooth for almost 2 years.  Every dentist visit he prays the dentist will say his tooth is about to fall out.   After patiently waiting, and watching Harper lose 6 teeth, his time has come and he FINALLY lost a tooth!

He has been so patient that he didn't even realize he lost his tooth.  He has sitting on the couch, drinking his water, and he said his mouth tasted salty.  Little did he know his tooth had fallen out and that was the blood.  We looked everywhere for that tooth, no couch cushion went un-turned!  After being convinced Jackson swallowed the tooth, he went for another sip of his water and found the tooth at the bottom of his glass!

Biggest smile ever!  He looks a little more grown up with a missing tooth!

Now he has a few more "wiggly" teeth he is working on!
