Summer Trip To Robber's Cave

This is the rock at the entrance to "The Devil's Slide"

One of the caves.

It was well over a hundred degrees everywhere but here and it was probably sixty right there.

Definitely a slippery slope. However, this was truly an amazing family experience.

Kim, Sam, and Tommy.

Mr. Adventure

I nearly had a heart attack watching them.

The view half way up.

Looking down into one of the caves.

My boys climbing down in there. I did not follow.

Jerry on the top looking down at all of us.

Another beautiful view.

Now to get back down, hmmm!

Lovely!

Uncle Harley

Look at Maddi go.

This crack goes all the way through and you can see people at the bottom, creepy.

I loved all the scenery.

Bubba

A skinny escape.

I didn't like the tight quarters in there but, it was the only way out.

"Don't let go Layne"
We spent Saturday at Robber's Cave in Oklahoma. It is the legendary hide out of Jesse James and his outlaws. There was so much to do there for both young and old. You could swim, putt-putt, fish, camp, grill, paddle boat, canoe, hike, bike, or visit their nature center. Then enjoy a snow cone. We will be going again for sure.

Stuffed Pita

Delish!
I have been experimenting with new foods and thought I would share this one. In the above picture I have mixed greens(Spring Mix), dried cranberries, crumbled blue cheese, and a rasberry vinigarette. I have never cared for Blue cheese at all, but I wanted to try it anyways. As it turns out when paired with the cranberries it is perfection. For lunch one day I made my salad and tossed in a bowl to even coat the lettuce with my dressing. Then stuffed into a pita pocket. I really loved the combo and it was filling too.

Crock Pot Pork Chops

1 family pack of thinly sliced pork chops
1 can cream of chicken
1 cup of sour cream
1 packet of your favorite dry dip mix ( I used Garlic Chipotle by Halladays)
     Mix your cream of chicken, sour cream, and dip mix. Now spread a small amount in the bottom of your crock. Add some chops and spread a little more. You want a little of your creamy mixture to cover all your chops. Turn crock to high for about 3 hours.
     I must say these were delicious. L ate five that night, leaving his Daddy a little hungry at the close of the dinner hour.

PS-I just made this one up last week. I didn't have a marinade and I wanted to add a little zip to dinner that night. I stepped into the pantry and began to stare at my everyday staples and I though hmmm...I wonder???
