Updates from Arkansas . . .

Early morning on the back porch with the deer - not unusual to have 5-15 deer feeding at a time, and not too afraid of people..


Had a chance to visit a restored Victorian home, complete with dress-up in period costumes! Pictured here is Michelle of the Rosalie house.


We went out on Beaver lake via Pontoon boat with friends of Mom & Jim. This area is man-made over farm and residential dwellings up to 200 ft below. The fish finder on the boat kept on beeping out when we passed over a building underneath.
Sitting in the big chair on a shopping trip in Fayetteville.


The Church had a picnic with an old-fashioned blue-grass band, with Crystal getting a front-row seat!
Early spring and late fall is migratory season for tarantulas, known as the 'tarantula walk'. This one was crossing the road, so we stopped and I snapped this picture - holding the camera as close as my nerves would let me. O yeah.. they jump

Ahhh Vacation.....

Our first stop was to Don & Bridgette in Delaware, Ohio where we stayed for the weekend to see Don's installation service at Liberty Presbyterian Church - WOW - Rev. Don Coleman - Can you believe it???

Here is a picture of Mommy's & babies visiting the Columbus Zoo & Aquarium.
Crystal especially loved the aquariums and the waterfall behind us in the picture. She squeeled and kicked her feet everytime she looked at it!

Below is Grandma Ronald reading a story to her grandbabies, look how interested they both look - Proud Grandma :-)


And then off to Eureka Springs, Arkansas to visit Grandma & Grandpa Morris for 2 weeks.

Here Grandma Morris & Crystal are sitting watching Grandpa Morris feed the deer practically in their own backyard.


We've only seen 5 or 6 at a time, but they say there can be up to 20 or so at one time feeding or passing through the houses. B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!
