Living here in Oklahoma we are quickly learning there just isn't the parks, lakes and trail systems that Minnesota has. We all are really missing them. Minnesota is so abundant of trails and lakes and parks that no matter which way you turn you have one. Here in Oklahoma, you have to drive at least 30 minutes...sometimes more...to find a park or lake and some trails. And...those are mostly State Parks. Which aren't bad, just not your run-of-the-mill parks that Minnesota has.
The boys and I have had to become creative with finding things to do that don't always cost money. Where we spend most of our time is our neighborhood pool but I even think they might be getting a little bored of that. Other than that we have been to the roller rink, movies, shopping (costs money), skating at the rink, walking down to the creek to look for craw fish, turtles and what ever fun "boy" stuff we can find. and then just going on bike rides, roller blading, and running on the trails we do have in our neighborhood. These are the best trails we have found yet.
We will continue to search for some fun (free) parks and lakes to go to as we have made it an adventure! But in the mean time...we are missing the Land of 10,000 lakes!!!
