We were on the go the whole time we were in Arkansas/ Missouri in the middle of the summer. After Petit Jean, Cave Creek and Branson, we were then off to Fayetteville to Uncle John's house. We were able to visit Meme in her assisted living home in Bella Vista. We also stopped in West Plains, MO to see great Aunt Bettye and Uncle Doc. Sadly, we missed cousin Robin who was supposed to meet us there, too. During our time at John's house in Fayetteville, we had lots of extended family over - Aunt Kem, Uncle J.J., Uncle Earl, Aunt Cathy, Cousins Kim & Randy, Jeff, & Claire and Kim's kids and grandkids. We missed Cousin Kathryn (and Chance) as Kathryn was due with baby boy #1 any day.
Next we were off to Tennessee with a quick stop outside Memphis to see more family and then on to Nashville where we could catch up with Cousin Alexa and her boys, Elie and Abram. We had a fun dinner out with them, an evening trip to the park and a fun stop at the art museum the next morning.

The girls are working on their cardboard schoolhouse. I can't believe I
didn't get a picture of the finished product but they worked on this all day -
it was a beautiful finished school (they let Anna do the "rug" of the school)
and then the girls made all kinds of things and people for the school - teacher,
students, playground, desks - even a bathroom! |
