Vacation. 4th of July. Tired. Blessed.

I have so much to say.
And so little time to say it.
We had the best time in Hot Springs.
Best time in a long time.
For many many reasons.
We can't say we relaxed...because we were BUSY.
But we have regrouped....and recharged....
from a very very long winter.
Revitalized might be the word I am looking for.

The kids were great travelers.
Alec is tall enough to open the camper door.
We had no idea how big of a deal that would be.
But I think that gives you an idea of how much fun we had.
Because everyone was self-sufficient.
And that was fun.

Here's a sample of the fun we enjoyed...

Bike riding.


 Enjoying our beautiful campground on Lake Catherine, Arkansas
checking out the old bath houses...and enjoying the stories and history


 Shaved ice on a warm day
Hiking in Lake Catherine State Park - awesome!
 Waterfalls

 Pine trees
 2 mile hike - gorgeous
 Botanical Gardens



 Gorgeous ferns
 A Peacock!
 Fishing...and a pontoon ride we will never forget!


 Beautiful cool fog on Lake Catherine...probably our favorite thing of all.
 4th of July fun!
It was a fun way to celebrate a special person's birthday too (just a couple days late)!
Happy Birthday sweet Karyn!
We love you!!!





So many more pictures...but those will have to be another post...on another day.  :)
Cause I am tired.
