Arkansas Post Road Trip

The weather was so nice last weekend that we had to get outside! We took a family road trip (plus our good friend Heath) to Arkansas Post. The mission of the day, at least for Beau, was to see where the alligators live. Beau is a good little road tripper already (his Da is training him early). As long as it's daylight and there are tractors, ducks, geese, and the occasional "big buck" deer to see along the way, Beau is quite content. Add "Uncle Heath's hot chips" to snack on and he's set for the day!

Time out to play in the leaves.


Taking a break along the way with my little man.

Big boy doesn't want to ride in the wagon...he wants to pull it himself!

Checking out the civil war cannon near the rifle pits. The barrel is authentic! (Beau liked to pretend it was a choo choo.)

Mission complete!

We saw 3 gators! So cool to see them in their natural habitat.
What a great day we had! I hadn't been to Arkansas Post since Todd and I were dating. That was the best date we ever had. Now it will be a special place to take our family!


Snow Day Pics

Better late than never! Here are a few pictures from the fun snow days we had in Jan.-Feb. Beau wasn't too sure about the snow at first, but after a play day, he started saying, "No is fun!" In other words, sNOw is fun!





Sledding behind the four-wheeler with Mama! Beau thought this was really fun. He didn't want to quit.

Whew! Time to come in and warm up!
