Fourth of July Fun!!

We had a wonderful and busy weekend! We went to Hot Springs for some fun and family time. BeBe, Big Pappa, Brady, Shara, Grace, Brady Jr., and Belle, all came in on Friday to hang out and hit the water. Darby Kate had a great time playing with her cousins, and eating all the yummy food!

On Saturday, we went to the Farmer's Market, and then got out on the water for a while. Darby Kate was able to see her buddies, Thompson and Gavin. She loved to "pet" Gavin. A storm blew in while we were out on the water, and we had to take cover fast -- what an adventure!!

We went over to Babe's and Poppy C's for dinner and to see the fireworks. Clancy, Marcelo, Maggie, Lance and Linda Lee were there, too! The fireworks ended up being canceled due to rain -- what a bummer!

On Sunday, we went to Mid America Museum. The Human Body exhibit was really cool! Darbs wasn't so much into it, though. She really loved the beach ball exhibit!

All in all, we had a great time. We are truly thankful for our family and friends, and for those serving our country so that we are able to have the freedom to do the things we enjoy most!

DK's first dip in the lake -- after she warmed up -- she really seemed to like it!

What's this hole? (luckily, she only hung out there for a second!)
