Adventures in Arkansas!

Well, We have been non-stop since we arrived in Arkansas Sunday morning. We did our usual drive through the night. We have found a lot of success traveling while all our Wee ones are sleeping. Dan and I eat sunflower seeds and drink 5 hour energy drinks, it's always an adventure!

Quinn is quite smitten with his Nana and Papa. I have not been counting but I am pretty sure that Quinn has said "Nana" or "Papa" hundreds if not thousands of times. He is constantly asking them to go here, play this, do this, go upstairs or downstairs, he has them on the go!

We have been fishing, hiking, boating, playing with play food, legos, little people, listening to the guitar, watering Nana's plants, kicking the soccer ball, hitting the baseball, rock climbing, you name it, we've done it!

Rex and Myla cooled down this afternoon in a big bowl that my sisters and I used to play in as babies. Kind of a fun family tradition you could say!


Myla looking sweet as can be!

After all that splashing around Myla was exhausted!
Dan was exhausted too...Papa, Nana and Quinn getting ready for a hike!

The Rude girls!

Nana and Rex

Quinn and Papa catching some fish... Quinn even touched it!
My one request for Papa was for him to build us a tee for hitting the baseball. If you know my dad, you know that he would come up with quite the contraption! It is even adjustable for when he gets taller! Quinn doing a little baseball practice!


Quinn got to eat some of Papa's famous popcorn... I think he enjoyed it!

Trying to steal another Quinn moment.

Myla always seems to have her tongue out these days!

Rex and Mommy enjoying a boat ride!
Despite the sad look on Quinn's face he actually really enjoyed driving the boat with Papa!A man moment!

Quinn is good luck with the fish according to Papa... They have been catching quite a few. I think Quinn thinks that this one is a little big!

Quinn and his walking stick!
Myla and NanaRex... in a laudry basket with a soccer ball...

Quinn loves the play food at Nana and Papa's house. He graciously gave Rex and Myla some burgers to enjoy!

Saturday before we left for Arkansas Dan cut down all the ugly bushes in front of our house and tore down the front porch. Our front porch was rotting and falling apart so we are putting on a new BIGGER porch. A friend of ours builds decks so he is hard at work while we are on vacation. We are excited to see it when we get home!!



Quinn had quite a fun time helping Daddy. He had his drill out and hammer! He was such a hard worker!Still enjoying our vacation, just wanted to post some pictures. Enjoy our beautiful family!
