Arkansas 2016!

We drove across the country to visit my sister, Karly and her family. It's a 20 hour drive, so we split it into 2 days. They did really great. We told them if they didn't ask us "How much longer?" or "When will we get there?" we would buy them a surprise. And guess what? They didn't ask us once the whole time! I was shocked they didn't forget and still ask us. They kept busy watching movies, coloring, eating snacks and reading books.

We saw some beautiful sites on the way. The scenery wasn't all that bad!

Rest stops included finding parks to let the kids run around and play for a bit!

The kids were so excited to get to the hotel! Addie kept asking "Is that real?" about everything! For example, "Is that tv real mom?" "Is that a real pool?" "Is that a real hotel?" It was pretty funny, I'm not sure why she thought everything was fake?

After we ate dinner we spent some time at the pool! Swimming is a must at a hotel!

We were so happy to finally arrive in Arkansas! We did so many fun things! Here are some of the highlights!

Tanyard Creek, such a pretty trail to walk on and hike around.

We went swimming which felt wonderful since it was so HOT & HUMID!

They had fun at the splash park one afternoon!

And ice-cream afterwards!

We also went to this fun children's museum called Amazuem, the kids LOVED it! I forgot my camera, so here's a few pictures from my phone.

And there was lots of playing and spoiling at their house!

Our drive home was as beautiful as our drive there. The kids did just as good, but they were so happy to get out of the car once we got home!

Love you Hodge Family, hope we can do it again!
