April A Month Of Remembrance

April can be a month of remembrance. A time to reflect on the moments that shape us and the memories that stay with us forever. I remember my parents telling me where they were when they heard JKF had been shot. In Oklahoma, we honor those lost in the OKC bombing, a solemn reminder of how precious life is. I remember I was at my job at the bank standing with other co-workers as we sat and watched the TV in shock. And as Easter arrives, we celebrate hope, renewal, and the gift of family. The stories we carry, the laughter we share, and the simple joys of being together become the threads that weave our family’s history.

A time to reflect on the moments that shape us and the memories that stay with us forever.

I remember my parents telling me where they were when they heard JKF had been shot.

In Oklahoma, we honor those lost in the OKC bombing, a solemn reminder of how precious life is. I remember I was at my job at the bank standing with other co-workers as we sat and watched the TV in shock.

And as Easter arrives, we celebrate hope, renewal, and the gift of family. The stories we carry, the laughter we share, and the simple joys of being together become the threads that weave our family’s history.

Just the other day, at a birthday party, we asked my 78-year-old mother in law about the first birthday that she could remember. Her answer was when she was in 4th grade and her mom and dad let her have a birthday party with all her friends from school.  Nothing was said about presents or decorations, it was about the kids that were there. That’s why making memories with people matters.

And what better way to do that than by slowing down, gathering your loved ones, and escaping to a place where time stands still. Hochatown’s cabins aren’t just a place to stay, they’re a place to connect, to reminisce, and to create moments that will be remembered for generations.

There’s nothing quite like the bond between siblings—the shared childhood adventures, the inside jokes that never get old, and the stories that only the people who grew up with you truly understand. April 10th is National Siblings Day, the perfect excuse to round up your brothers and sisters for a getaway that’s long overdue. Imagine spending a weekend in Hochatown, gathered around a cozy cabin fireplace, reminiscing about those epic backyard battles, late-night giggle fits, and family road trips gone hilariously wrong.

During the day, you can relive those carefree childhood days, rent a pontoon and cruise Broken Bow Lake, challenge each other to a round of mini golf, hit the trails at Beavers Bend State Park, or stir up some friendly competition with a game night in the cabin. And, of course, no sibling reunion is complete without grilling out, toasting marshmallows, and laughing until your sides hurt. Life gets busy, but this is your chance to slow down, reconnect, and make new memories, because the best stories are the ones you live together.

Have you booked your Easter celebration at a cabin in Hochatown yet? If you haven’t, you should! Traditions have to start somewhere, and what better way to begin than with a peaceful, joy-filled Easter weekend in the heart of nature?

Picture the kids running through the trees, laughing as they search for Easter eggs hidden behind the cabin and the pine trees. The smell of burgers sizzling on the grill as the whole family gathers on the deck, sharing stories and soaking in the crisp spring air. Then, as the sun sets behind the towering pines, you pause, taking in the beauty of the moment—because this is what Easter is all about: family, togetherness, and the simple joy of being present with the ones you love. Whether it’s your first time or the beginning of a new yearly tradition, celebrating Easter in Hochatown is a memory your family will cherish forever.

As the days of April pass, we are reminded that life is not just about the milestones but about the moments in between, the laughter, the connections, and the shared experiences that become part of our family’s story.

Whether it’s a birthday, a holiday, or just a quiet weekend away, it’s these times that shape us and stay with us long after the days have gone. So this April, gather your loved ones, embrace the spirit of remembrance, and create new memories that will last a lifetime. Hochatown’s cabins are the perfect setting for these moments, where time slows down, and the simple joys of togetherness come to life. After all, the best memories aren’t the ones we plan, they’re the ones we make along the way.
