Quick Getaway

We enjoyed a perfect weekend! Friday after work Dillon picked me up and we headed north, to Broken Bow Oklahoma which we discovered is only 3 hrs from Frisco. We arrived to our cute bed and breakfast, Reubens Rest and met the owners, then went on to dinner at Abendigo's in town...Dillon got steak and I got a pasta dish. We enjoyed good conversation and food, then drove out to see the lake while the sun was setting.

Saturday we slept in a bit, then enjoyed a 3 course breakfast (smoothie, eggs sausage and bisquit, and a cherry danish) before heading out to ride the river. We were amazed at how beautiful the river was- we didnt take our camera on the canoe but I found some pictures online. We started out a little nervous (just me) but after Dillon showed me a few basic maneuvers (side stroke, forward and back paddle) we were good to go. We had talked to some guys earlier who had kayaked the river and flipped several times so we were just anticipating a dump in the freezing water but we actually survived the 2 1/2 hr float without tipping! We did crash into several rocks, and I lost my orr twice (Dillon rescued it both times!) but we had a GREAT time, and were sad when it was over.

On our way back to Dallas, Dillons AC went out so we were a little miserable in the car ride. Once in the solace of our cool home, we cleaned up and headed to the Geyers for delicious dinner, fine company and a few rounds of Hand and Foot (a new card game we learned).

This morning we had a good showing to Sunday school, and then ate at Blue Goose with our friends the Thiems. They suprised us and treated us as a thankyou since Dillon has taught Sunday school all year.

We weren't with either of our dads today (Fathers Day) but we certainly are mindful of how blessed we are because of them~

The Fork River (as you can see- it was both calm and exciting at times)
