Travel brief

We arrived in Arkansas yesterday! 2 days of driving, something over 1000 miles, and I was so glad to arrive! I took a few shots of our adventure, but I'm not feeling verbose enough to make it very exciting.

We found a great rest stop for lunch on Friday and the kids had a blast playing in this little stream. I didn't realize how blurry the picture was, sorry.

Callie had a total meltdown when we stopped for the night. I guess after 12 hours in a car, it wasn't unexpected! She eventually calmed down and this was her a bit later, snacking on an apple, watching tv. Funny girl! Then they went to bed. All the kids keep asking if we can sleep in a hotel again. I don't know why its so fun for them. (It sure isn't for me!)

The children were wonderful in the car. They loved having DVD players in the back headrests, and that helped keep them content. Delaney had fun teasing whoever was next to her, and Grandpa indulged her as well.

A bit late on this shot! You can barely see that we have just entered Arkansas. Whew! Nearly done with the drive!

The very first thing Joshua did upon arrival was to check out the tree house. He said there were ants and spiders in it, so he will have some house cleaning to do!

Callie was thrilled to see the garden. She is such a good helper in it. Check out those enormous Zucchini plant leaves behind her! I left 2 pathetic little zukes behind in VA and this is pretty impressive to me!

I'll try to be more exciting.... when I'm not pooped after being cooped up in a tiny area with 4 children for nearly 48 hours!
