Another Oklahoma Weekend

We took another impromptu trip to Oklahoma, this time with the Compton clan.. What good times we had.. We were the only ones on the property, imagine having over 300 acres for just 4 adults and 3 kids to run around on?? The kids LOVED being in the outdoors.. The weather was beautiful again with the exception of Saturday late afternoon through Saturday night.. We had some serious rainfall and didn't realize how much until Sunday when we tried to leave... One of the roads on the property (that takes you in and out from the main road) was flooded, which delayed our travels home for about 5 and a half hours.. Here are some pics of the fun times and the worrisome times!!

FUN TIMES:


















Worrisome Times:


This bench was actually on grass and out of water on Friday.. On Sunday the seat of it was covered by water.. (The dock was also covered with water)







This is the water coming to cross over the street. It feeds from the lake down through the lower part of the property. This was moving pretty quickly..







This is the street we had to cross, it doesn't look as bad as it was in person.. The water was flowing fast and loud, the van was just too low to cross safely!






This is the water coming down off of the road.. TALK ABOUT LOUD!! I thought I was standing next to a huge waterfall!







This is the water coming out of the lake to lower the level of the lake.. This was a few hours before we were finally able to leave!!
