Since this week is Blaine's Spring Break, we decided to have an Oklahoma stay-cation to explore more of our lovely state. So we borrowed a baby backpack from a friend and headed an hour and 45 minutes southwest to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge and Mount Scott.
It was a pretty nice day, just pretty windy.
(It's Oklahoma, plus we were on top of a mountain)
Compared to the mountains of Utah, Colorado, and Montana that we're so used to, Mt. Scott's 2464 feet were pretty dinky. But it sure stuck out compared to the rest of the flat terrain. Plus, it was just really nice to explore somewhere new. We saw a couple Buffalo and a Longhorn, plus a bunny that ran past Jake.

Jake was even able to come on the family outing and he LOVED it. He wants to be free to roam and explore and run... and roll in Buffalo chips...
True story. I had to wipe him off with baby wipes and then have him lay on a towel for the ride home. Yes, sometimes having a dog can feel like a burden, but having Jake with us made the trip more fun because he was SO excited. Look at that face!
Blaine and Easton went out onto one of the cliffs and me and Jake stood on the other side, but Jake kept crying and trying to go to them. It was cute and funny. He never wants to be left out of ANYTHING.
^^ can you see Jakes head in the bottom corner? he was jealous ^^
There was a military base nearby who kept testing some equipment, so we kept hearing big booms.
Our 8 month old baby boy. He's growing up so fast.
^^ Look at that lion emerging from the brush ^^
^^ Seriously, he was SO happy. He LOVES running and exploring.
I guess we better settle down on a lot of land.
^^ What a cutie ;)
Easton's first bottom tooth poked through and so he's been sucking on his top lip to make it feel better. He looks silly, but he's so funny
It was a fun family outing, and certainly wore out Easton.

^^ Jake makes friends everywhere he goes. It's so interesting to see how different the interaction is between Jake and people/kids that feel comfortable with him, and with those that don't
Once we were done with Mt. Scott, we explored the wildlife refuge. I was scared that a buffalo would come stampeding down the trail and kill us, but that didn't happen.

^^ We traveled to the Southwest. i.e. Cactus
