Last Sunday we motored from Tulsa down to Chickasha to visit Logan at college. He’s doing very well down there but we need to go see him anyway.
We ate at this very decent Mexican Food restaurant. We all had burritos! It was a lot, in fact it was my last meal of the day.
And then we took advantage of the weather and went to Chickasha’s Shannon Springs Park. It is a great place with walking tracks and playgrounds and that big western Oklahoma sky.
Way back in the day the springs were a water stop on the Chisholm Trail. It was probably was not near as nice with hundreds of cattle standing around and in the water but very important.
The sun was shining and the air was warm but not hot.
Some of the trees look like they are getting read to turn colors.
Heather and Logan found a cool swing that you could make go by pushing your feet. We all three tried it for a little while.
And we found what I call a hippie bridge. Kind of racy for small town Oklahoma. It’s not too small a town as we went to the big Walmart to get the kid stocked up on supplies. You know, snacks and pizza. I’m surprised he doesn’t have pizza squeezing out his ears.
And then back to the dorm and saying goodbye!! It was a great visit.
Looks like a fantastic trip, except for having to leave your son of course. I love all the photos, especially the hippie bridge! And that swing is cool!
Is it starting to cool down there, have you got Autumn on it’s way, bet it was good to see your son – happy days.
Great photos of you and your family. Can just imagine the great time you all had together, and in those very pretty surroundings.
lovely photo of a kid and mom….
thank you for sharing beautiful views of park and water.
Have a wonderful day.
…it interesting to see the WPA plaque in the first image, the wonderful things that they created!!! Thanks for hosting.
Glad to hear Logan is doing well at collage, and it looks like a fun visit. Hippie bridge looks interesting!

nice day for a visit
Great pictures!
Great scenery.
Alan – so glad to see your son is doing well at college. There is no substitute for seeing them face to face, right? And a good burrito is bonus!
Beautiful pics.
Greetings. Stay well.
Quite a swing, never seen similar. Not even in photos. Sounds like you had some good times in that lovely surroundings. Keep you and yours Safe!
Beautiful family photos. That was a wonderful visit, having a meal together and visiting the park. Thank you for hosting and have a great day.
lovely time together.
Aw, it’s nice that you paid a visit to your son and bought him some food snacks. I’m quite sure he is happy about having some snacks on hand. Chickasha looks like a peaceful and lovely place.
Logan is quite the young man, and I’m so happy he is able to enjoy college (fingers crossed that it doesn’t have to close down prematurely). Also happy that you were able to visit and replenish his pizza/snack stash. Love the WPA plaque, the hippie bridge, and the history behind that park. Yes, fall is here!
Does the Mexican restaurant have red and green chile?
Logan looks good! I love the hippie bridge.
Nice bridge shot
Logan just towers over his mom now! Can’t believe he’s already in college. Glad you had a nice visit. Love the hippie bridge.
So glad Logan is doing well at college. He looks so tall!
Love this visit. Logan is such a tall handsome young man. And remember when he was called ‘Pizza Boy’.
