Shadow Dancer Cabin

The Shadow Dancer Cabin was very nice. Had everything you would need for vacation. 

The wrap around porch was nice.  Lane and I enjoyed walking around the porch, of course he thought we were playing follow the leader. 

Am thinking I am going to have to get us a gas grill.  When we grilled out the food was so good.  

Me and hubbie enjoyed the hot tub.  He later told me he had never been in a hot tub!

The outside sitting area was probably my favorite area of the cabin. 

This is our bedroom we chose for the stay.  The bed was good.  I had no issues sleeping.  Am so happy that I can finally say I have stayed in a cabin at Broken Bow.  That has been on my bucket list for years. 

 

Vacation over and back to real life

 Unpacking from a trip is such a downer.  We did unpack the Jeep last night.put away most everything.  Then this morning finished with all the small items.  Found all my small souvenir items and realized I should have bought more.  For me that always seems to be how it goes.  I bought a bright pink T-shirt and can’t wait to wear it. 

My bottle of wine from Girls Gone Wine.  The Beavers Bend is the name of the wine I bought. 

Anyways back to unpacking it’s always a little sad to return back to real life. 

It felt like we took way too  much stuff especially when we are having to put everything away.  

 We had a full washer once we unpacked our suitcases.  Had quite a bit of groceries that Brody needs to come pick as well. Got our fishing poles, tackle boxes and chairs back into the shop.  I think the only things left in Jeep is a case of water and some trash from the four hour road trip. 

Let’s go fishing!

Why is it I always see a snake or two here at Lake Taylor?  Mr. C. Says there are many snakes out here. Some not poisonous and many that are very dangerous.  Like so many others all snakes are scary to me.  I will not mess with a snake ever. 

This was a good spot for me to cast out my line.  If you’ve been following my blog I also have a pink and purple fishing pole.  This is the new pole and reel my sweet husband bought for me. 

So glad the wind is moving while we are at the lake.  

Mr. C. Caught a large small mouth bass.  He did release it back into the lake. I didn’t have any luck catching a fish today.  Lots of season left to catch the “big” one.  Am looking forward to us being more active outside this summer. 

Just remember a bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work!

 

Girls Gone Wine Day 3 part 3

Everyone talks about Girl Gone Wine.  I absolutely knew this was on my to do list.  Savannah and I went over after we had a late lunch at Mountain Fork Brewery.  The guys took the boys back to cabin.

We did the free wine tasting.  We tried 9 different wines. My favorite was the Beavers Bend. It was a peach-apricot white wine blend. I have always been more of a white wine drinker on the sweet side.

Was surprised that the wine prices were not expensive.  They even have a bottle of wine that that donate $7.00 from each sale to a scholarship fund. 

Just a few pictures of their large gift shop.  They had so much to see in their shop.  

Loved all the lotions, soaps and beauty products. 

Savannah and I needed a picture of our visit to Girls Gone Wild.  The outside patio is pretty awesome.  I definitely can see making this a highlight of a girls only trip.  

 

Broken Bow Day 3 part 2

Brody and Savannah had been telling us how good the food and beer was at this brewery.  So we decided to eat a late lunch here.

Luther and I both ate the hamburger steak with mushroom gravy, salad and fries. It was really 

 Very likely if we are back in this area we would eat here again.  Brody had bought some beer back to cabin.  Although I did not try any of the crafted beer.  

This post is heavy on pictures.  I must say this trip to Broken Bow has fulfilled my dreams of being here.  Was a great vacation for both Mr. C. and I.  

 

Day 3 Broken Bow

They really like to utilize Big Foot as part of their tourism.  

At this particular gift store you will see a portion of the gifts they offer with Big Foot.  

Plenty of Big Foot items to choose from featuring Big Foot.  That isn’t my thing at all.

Going to eat breakfast with the family. 

I had the western omelette with jalapeños.  It came with potatoes and biscuit and gravy. 

I couldn’t eat everything, but sure did attempt it.  Sweet tea was really good.  Mr. C. ate over easy eggs, potatoes & sausage and toast and jelly. 

Seems like most stores has outside decorations.

I’m crazy about trains.  We are getting ready to take a 30 minute train ride. 

Mr. C. And I on a train again.  Although a much smaller train.  Our last train ride was on the Oklahoma Heartland Train.  We went from Pauls Valley to Fort Worth Texas many years ago.

Loco Joe is our train conductor.  He was very informative about Broken Bow history. He did a great job keeping us entertained. 

Getting to see the deer up close was a bonus.  So many deer.  Which we can see lots of deer at our local lake.  

Lane was happy on his pony ride. Landon did not enjoy the pony ride as he only went one round.

Okie girls coffee and ice cream.  We shared a banana split.  They are making bank at $12.95 for this treat. A 16 ounce shake was $9.95.  My hubbie was wanting a shake but not at that price.
