The Currys Go Exploring....

Since I couldn't make it to South Dakota for Labor day, I talked the family into some hiking Oklahoma Style.
About an hour from our house, is Mt. Scott, the highest point in OK, measuring about 2600' about sea level. (Incidentally, I think my folks farm in SD is at 3000'....hmmmm).
But it's a mountain, nonetheless!
And it's hiking, nonetheless!
Well, kinda.

What you really do is DRIVE up the mountain on a nice, swirling, paved road...
THEN, you get out in the paved parking lot at the top, and let the kids romp around all the huge boulders at the top.

Here's Jenna, pondering the mysteries of the universe.

Or thinking about her Barbies at home...

And though you can't see in the photo, Wyatt, luckily, has his "Spider Feet" on, so he could easily climb straight up any boulder.

Good thing.

It was a perfect day with no wind, and we all had fun exploring. We attempted to take a family photo...here's me telling Aaron exactly how to do it (so Mama Jewell, I know...)

And here's Aaron running across boulders to try and make it to the shot.

Bummer, cuz that was going to be our Christmas Card photo...

Oh well, we have plenty of time to get a family photo before Christmas.

We were standing up there chatting, and discussed the fact that no one ever puts photos in their office of them and their family watching TV or playing video games.

It's these moments that we are really living life that we choose to capture on film and go to the trouble of framing.

You still have a whole day left of this weekend....go make a memory that you wouldn't mind framing on your walls!
