Our time in Arkansas

The statement time flies when you're having fun is certainly true! We pulled into Harrison, Arkansas last Tuesday afternoon and it's hard to believe that it's already over. Our week consisted of dashing here and there to do our many errands and spending time with friends as their schedule allowed.

Our first plan was to stay at a campground 30 min from town but when our stay got shortened to 1 week instead of 3 we asked dear friends, Freeman and Betty Jane Yoder if we could use their back yard. Of course they said yes and we had a fabulous time enjoying the privacy. The children loved having a hill to play on after being in a flat area of Texas for 4 months! The only downside was that Freeman's had to be gone for the weekend so we did not get to spend much time with them but we took what we could get! We had many highlights and I'll share a few.......

We promptly went out to our house so that we could get Eldon's motorcycle. There was lots of emotions going on and a teeny bit of regret for putting it on the market. Mostly though, I was SO thrilled to see that our renters have the place so clean and cute looking and we were both relived that we don't have to keep it up anymore :) . 

My husband had time to cook lots of yummy food!

Tickets were on sale and Sight and Sound in Branson so we took advantage of that.

Lunch at the park with these desperate housewives (missed you Sharla). Really, we're just a bunch of females who share lots of love and opinions. 

Our many children, minus one who wouldn't stop crying.

Like I said, baby magnet!

We have friends who do kids club on Tuesday nights so we showed up to hang out both Tuesdays. We did take food one time but mostly it was an excuse to spend time with DJ and Marie and Matt and Hannah.

The man with the ice cream had little friends.....

Emily and Adore' up to no good.

We also did a lot of other random things like teeth cleanings, cavities filled, well-baby check ups as well as several visits to the hospital to see Eldon's co-workers. We thoroughly enjoyed our time even though it felt like we ran everywhere but hopefully next time we'll have more time to spend there!!
