Blue hole is a little known swimming hole about an hour from our house. We, the Ronnow's, have been going there since I was a teenager. It is crystal clear and very cold! Because of the freezing water, the best time of the year to go is late July/early August. This is when the temperature is steadily above 100 degrees. Joey and I took the boys and some friends last Thursday. We had such a great time! The family we invited had 3 small kids and they had never heard of blue hole. They were so much fun! Phoenix, the 5 year-old, jumped right in and started paddling around. Sequoia, is 3 and she also loved it from the minute we arrived. Bridger is 1 and he took a little more convincing. Before we left, he was right in there splashing and loving it! Some friends of ours from Owasso met us there. They took Trevor and Gavin around the bend in the stream to an area where they could climb up a hill and jump into the water. Gavin jumped twice and Trevor jumped over and over. We all had fun swimming and picnic-ing. By the time we left, everyone was smiling and exhausted. Too bad we won't be able to go again 'til next year.
I miss the fun times we used to have at Blue Hole! I don't miss the FREEZING cold water, though. I could never quite get warm again for hours after getting out of the water.
