more of Arkansas trip

Jeremy and I have always found the ride between Memphis and Searcy to be slow bc of the narrow roads, the cops on patrol, and the lack of fun places to stop for the kids to take a break or eat. But on my June trip to Arkansas with the kids, this leg of the ride was most exciting for Aidyn and Spence. They searched for crop dusters and found several. They counted train engines cruising along side our van. And they laughed hysterically to see tractor after tractor on the hwy with us, one of which had tires so huge it looked like we could drive under it. Kids can make anything fun.


And here are some pics from my phone. First is Mike riding a coaster with Aidyn and Spence. Even though he knew it was simulated, Spence is gripping for dear life.






















And here Michelle teaches Spence how to ride a bike. So now he spends a goodly portion of each day riding in our driveway.



The kids had a fun week in Arkansas. Spence especially enjoyed hiking with Shayne, riding four-wheeler with Shayne and Eli, and fishing in Grandpa's boat. Thanks to everyone who helped me care for them bc these road trips by myself are Tiring.
