Parent's Weekend

A few weekends ago, Brett and I traveled down to Arkansas with his parents, Dave and Jyl, to visit my parents, Tim and Jeanette! We had our own little "parent's weekend!"


As always, Lucy demands we spend time with her... and we LOVE it!


And she LOVES it too!


Saturday we spent the day visiting various historical places.
First, we went to the Pea Ridge National Military Park.


After watching a video on the Civil War, my Mom and Dad look a little too excited to tour the park!


A beautiful view from one of the look out points!


Dave and Jyl enjoy a breathtaking view!


Brett and I just couldn't resist a picture with this view!


The Elkhorn Tavern was the turning point of the battle fought at Pea Ridge!


After seeing the history of the civil war, we traveled to...
The Daisy Museum which was a big hit with the guys!


Living up the dream... ...of every little boy!


Anyone remember this from the movie 'A Christmas Story'?


The history of Daisy B.B. guns!


After lunch we traveled to Bentonville to visit the Walton 5-10 (five and dime).
This used to be the original store of Sam Walton, but now it is the Wal*Mart museum!


Here's the park in the Bentonville Square!


We took a few minutes to rest and enjoy the cool afternoon!


Dave enjoying the fountain!


My dad and Brett chatting in the park!


Here are the moms enjoying time at the fountain.


We all enjoyed the cool water on our feet after a long day!


Later, we took a nice little walk through the woods to find this amazing beauty.
Soon this will be the new art museum in Bentonville, AR :: Crystal Bridges


On our way back to the car, it poured down rain.
Thankfully everyone embraced the rain and enjoyed the day!


Sunday, we had family stop by for lunch and afternoon games!
