After finishing up our crazy, fun, exhausting, stressful, jam packed week, this picture sums up how we were feeling!
We had a great time in Arkansas. When we woke the kids up at the hotel, Thomas said, "I can't believe my whole body is in Arkansas!" I love the things this kid gets excited about!
Saturday morning we had our picture taken. I think there is at least on in the over 300 that he took that might be OK. I am anxious to see them!
Then we headed to Hot Springs for a little get away. Bryon and I went there the May after we were married and had a great time taking in nature and going on hikes. We thought that was right up our kids' alley. We also remembered a cool Putt Putt place and were very excited to see that it was still open!
After we got to our hotel, we put on ESPN to check our football games. Of course, I was so bummed to see that Alabama lost, but was quickly cheered up to see Illinois beat number one Ohio! I spent most of the first five years of my life in Champain/Urbana while my Dad was getting his Ph.D. What a great victory!
Anyway, we woke up this morning and took the kids on a hike up a small mountain (hill?) in the Ozarks. The kids had a blast and I enjoyed every minute of the hike with the fall foliage around its peak. We also took a ride up to the observation tower at the top to get a better view. I think as long as I have small children, I don't ever want to be that high off the ground again!
We finished the trip going to play Putt Putt. The highlight of that adventure was when Mary Beth putted a hole in one all by herself! Bryon and I were jumping up and down and I think she thought we were crazy! Below is a picture of her by the green and then walking on the green to get her ball.
It was good to get away for a while, but it is always wonderful being home again!

Makes me miss Arkansas!
I love that first picture! I wish I had thought to take one of my exhausted guys in the car...all three of them!
The picture of them asleep in the car is just priceless! Glad y'all had a fun and safe trip!
You were just down the road from me!
We love Hot Springs -- we've taken pictures in a lot of those same places.
You made me homesick too and I was just there.
Can't wait to see the Johnny Miller proofs -- I am rarely disappointed!
Glad you had a fun, safe trip.
