Arkansas Part 2

More fun times from our trip to Little Rock and Hot Springs in April!

 

The Old Mill.

Beautiful minus the fire ants and the gazillion people having pictures taken there....  We didn't stay too long.

 

 

 

Burns Park.

They had many different playgrounds, so we tried out a couple different ones.  One of the playgrounds had this fun tank to climb on.  We also drove on a covered bridge and saw an old log cabin.

 

 

Our favorite thing to do in every city is find a splash pad if they have one.  This one was at Peabody Park.

 

 

A ride on the River Rail Electric Streetcar!

 

Riah was a bit exhausted after the splash pad!

 

Fun by the river at our campground. 

 

 

And this little guy gets extra pictures just because he is so darn cute! 

 

 



Arkansas Part 1

In April we took a 10 day trip down to Little Rock and Hot Springs, Arkansas. 

Our home away from home.

Everyone packed in!
 

Our first full day down there we decided to explore Hot Springs.  We took a tour of one of the bath houses, explored the shops, bought some fudge, sampled the spring water, and took a drive up to the tower.

The next day it was off to Little Rock.  

We visited Heifer Village where the kids spent time learning and exploring.

A quick stop at the Nature Center.

 

 

And some campfire cones after dinner.  Yum!  I think we just started a new tradition. 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Only a 2 Year Break

Every once in a while we look back over old blog posts and reminisce.  We look over the pictures and videos of the kids and see how much they have grown.  We laugh at the funny things they said and did.  We remember again the tough times that God has brought us through and all he has blessed us with.  And we are sad about all of the memories we haven't recorded over the last two years!  So, here we go with another try to keep up with this blog.  We are doing it for our family, but you are welcome to follow along and enjoy all of our craziness. 

First things first, the whole silly crew of now 8!
