Saturday at the Zoo!!

Today we decided that we'd take a little family trip....back to the LR zoo!  It was a VERY hot day, BUT we went and had a blast.  I guess most people thought it was too hot to be at the zoo because there were not very many people there.  They had a few buildings with AC, and topped with an icecream and cool drinks, it made it doable :)  After we left the zoo we shopped around a little bit then grabbed a bite to eat, then FINALLY found our way back to Arkansas County.  It was a hot, but fun day :) 
It was one lazy day!  Trey said it looked like Pop :)

My picture in the birdhouse

Makena in front of the alligators.

Trey wanted to feed them.  I told him that he'd probably make
them a good snack!

Look at those teeth.

Carlie and Makena feeding the Koi

Not too sure about this one.

Makena by the new elephants, Jewel and Zion.  Mary
died about a month or so ago, and they got two new elephants
to stay with Ellen.  Jewel and Zion are retired from the circus.

Carlie by a giraffe.  This giraffe kept coming over to her. 
I mean like I think he could have touched us with his long
tongue if he wanted to!

Up close...this is with NO zoom.  They are so beautiful!

Carl found a cool place to rest!

Another cool spot with ice cream!

Carl and Carlie were eating a funnel cake :)

Farmer Trey

This cracks me up so much because
of Carlie as the squirrel...it SO fits her :)
Again, check out Makena as the squirrel!

My three penguins

Trey wanted to be one by himself.

Friday Favorites

Happy Friday, friends! We made it through another week here on the homestead. Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites :) This week has flown by! On Monday, Wrenley started her new "school year" at daycare. Even though she is in the same school with a lot of the same kids, she moved up and is now officially in PreK! She has had to adjust to new teachers, but seems to like it so far :) She is BeBe's big girl! 💓💓💓 At the beginning of the week, Carl asked if Makena and I wanted to go with him and Trey put some corn and salt blocks out for the deer. Say less, sir! Of course, our answer was yes :) Our chariot and driver Trey and Maggie Hopefully, our hard work pays off! Also came across this guy. He was around 5 ft. long and had 14 rattlers. Don't ask how I know that 😟 We always have a good time when we hang out with our guys, and that is most certainly a favorite! Watching my girl do her thing at work will always be my favorite!...

Friday Favorites

 Woo Hoo, it's Friday! Just last week I was talking about how this month is flying by, but this week has moved at a snail's pace! Today, I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites. I have been working on my fitness for about a year now, more seriously in the past 6 months. One thing I've worked on is getting my daily protein in. I tried the built puff protein bars a while ago and they are wonderful, but earlier this week I found the sour puffs, and wow, those things are surprisingly amazing!! I've also taken the new year to do a little more for myself. I started ordering from Nuuly (a monthly clothing subscription). I have found serveral brands that I have wanted to try. There is no pressure to buy anything. You just simply pick 6 items, wear them for the month and send it back and then pick 6 more items (of course, you can purchase if you like). This is a new favorite of mine. At the end of November I bought tickets to the Jason Aldean conce...

Friday Favorites

 Happy Friday, friends! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday Favorites. This is going to be a rapid-fire Friday favorites because it is getting late and I have to wake up extra early to pick up a special little girl :) The said little girl! Nobody ever told me how much you love your grandbabies! Spending time with Wrenley is always one of my favorites💗 Another one of my favorite things is watching Makena present. This time she was on her "home turf". She did a presentation on The Stuttgart Army Airfield for a historical group at our community center. They had their biggest turnout for a meeting because Makena has so many people who support her and love her. We are thankful for everyone who came. Of course she did a great job. I'm always proud of her. It is always a favorite any time I get a video or picture of my grandson, Wesley. I can't wait until June! My gentle giant, Boone, wanting to do his favorite thing: GO OUTSIDE! Makena ...
