Our Trip to Arkansas

The boys and I just got back from the great state of Arkansas. I am so proud of my boys and their traveling skills. Thank goodness for the dual dvd player and fruit snacks! We had such a relaxing time hanging out with my family and seeing old friends. Thanks Nanny and Pa for entertaining us and feeding us good food!

We went to a fish hatchery one day and had a picnic. The boys had a fun time feeding the fish and just watching them swim around. The water was so clear!




We also went to a petting zoo and "drive thru zoo" one day. Braxton LOVED it! We fed the animals from our window and then hung out with a little goat. There was a parrot that kept telling Braxton "hello", which he completely got a kick out of! It was great! Check out my photography skills on the deer picture. I seriously took that...she was right next to my window and the lighting was perfect-o!




We hung out on the front porch a lot....chasing butterflies, climbing trees, eating ice cream, running in the yard, and catching lightning bugs when the sun went down. To be a kid again...oh, and what do you think about our little linebacker below!?!







It was also such a treat to get to hang out with my dear friend, Marci, while I was visiting my hometown. Marci and I went to high school and church together. We know WAY TOO much about each other so I need to keep her close...too much dirt! Hee Hee! She has two precious kiddos with the cutest curly hair. What a squirmy bunch! This is the best picture I could get! Marci, it was soooo great to see you!!! I miss you!


We had a great time in Arkansas...now back to reality...laundry to do and kids to retrain! :)
