Day 9: June 25th, 2013: Buffalo National River, AR to Keystone Lake, Sand Springs, OK

Cody enjoyed the water bin again this morning.  There was a magnificent breeze gently bringing in the morning. Brooke was bamboo hunting.  We found bamboo sticks for both of them.  Let the rock and stick collections begin!  Showers this morning!  Our first camp showers weren’t too shabby.  The water was a little warm and the shower head dangled, but the facilities were clean and there was no button pushing or coin dropping involved!

Day 7: June 23, 2013 : Springfield, MO to Buffalo National River, AR

Scott had been up since 4:30.  I won’t name names, but someone took his usual pajamas in a quest to clean every last piece of laundry.  Thus, Scott woke up cold, and then neither of us had much more sleep.  I still managed to get out of bed around 6 in order to get in one last run with Kayla.  We ran four miles and were only a little lost for a little bit of the run. Other than wild animals, getting lost is my next biggest worry about venturing off and exercising by myself on the road.  I wasn’t concerned with Kayla, but my worrying might deter me from getting in as much exercise as I should on this trip.

Day 8: June 24th, 2013: Buffalo National River, AR

The kids started their morning eager to work on their Junior Ranger Books.  I packed our lunch for the river while Scott worked on the van’s misfiring concern.  I am getting used to the camping mode.  We are all covered in a light layer of sticky sweat and suntan lotion with a sprinkling of Earth and bug grit.  It took me a day to get used to the feeling, but I am starting to embrace it.
