Last weekend, we took a little trip to Boulder Field.
A National Natural Landmark that was created after
one of the ice ages when a glacier melted and left
a TREMENDOUS amount of boulders.
We went with friends from church.
This State Park is about 30 minutes north of our house.
BUT once you reach the park you have to drive about 20 minutes
on a dirt, rocky road to get to the field.

They are NOT easy to walk on!
There is still running water beneath the boulders
and they are still splitting and moving.
This is as far as I went.
Me.
Another view.
It truly is AMAZING!
Michael on his way back.
He went out quite a few times.
There's also a very nice lake at this park...

My favorite picture!
It was the most beautiful day.
The weather was PERFECT.
But more importantly we had the best time!

I would not venture out to far either.
it sure does look like he is having a great time.
Hugs.

Looks like an amazing place. What a great day you had for the trip.
Michael and you look so happy! Great pic!
I noticed you had a jacket on--we are still in the 90's here.
Enjoy your week!
Heidi Pocketbook says
Very cool place--and the pic of you and your son is great!
I'm thankful that the Colonel was able to get home for a visit and I know you can hardly wait til he's home for good.

There is a mountain south of Oklahoma City called Mt. Scott that our church group of young kids use to climb every summer and it had a river of boulders just like the ones in your pics. Instead of an avalanche of snow it was of boulders. No water running underneath though. What fun you guys must have had.

I've heard of Boulder Field, but could not imagine the topography of it, so thanks for the awesome pictures. Thank God for wonderful weekends with precious family!
Debbie says

That is such an amazing and different field! I would have been hesitate to go out too far! But kids are so adventurous. Great post and I appreciate you stopping by. I chuckled at you pooling your monies to buy a slice of pizza!
