Going to visit 'The Greats'

Back on Memorial Day weekend, Tom, Clara and I went to visit my grandparents (and Clara's GREAT-Grandparents) in Arkansas. We had a wonderful time!! We love going to visit because we get to catch up with some of our very favorite people, Tommye and Leon. They are the youngest 70-somethings we know or have ever met. Tom likes to tell people about the time he saw my grandfather hurdle a bush once like it was no big deal. Also, for those of you that don't know, Clara was named after my Grandma's mom, my great-grandmother, Clara Parker.
Anyways, Clara has only been to visit in Arkansas one other time (when she was 3 months old) so it was all very new to her. She loved all the extra attention, the fabulous food, visiting the lake and river, and playing in all the non-baby proofed bookshelves and cabinets. So much fun!

Here are some pictures from our visit.




Clara enjoys Grandfather's Waffles! Yummmmmm :)



There is a new visitors center which overlooks both Bull Shoals Lake and the White River. It has some really nice exhibits...especially liked the history of making the Bull Shoals Dam. I spotted the CUTEST costume in the gift store and thought Clara had to have it. Here is Arkansas' youngest (and most adorable) park Ranger.
