Delta Rivers Nature Center

Baby Gator!

There was a really cool lab they had set up where you could fell the animal skins, see what their skeletons look like, and all that good stuff.  Of course Makena spotted the alligator head right away.  We have "Gator Mania" at our house.  Even though Swamp People is not on right now, Troy Landry will be at Mack's Prairie Wings on Sun. October 2 and The Mungers will be there!

Interested in poop anyone?!  My kids were!
This was a pretty cool airplane simulator.

My bunch watching the movie during our "plane ride".
Another cool thing we saw today:  In the movie we flew over all the
Nature Centers in the state of AR.  Imagine our surprise when our first stop
took us right over our house to the Potlach Conservation Center at Cooks Lake!!
You could see our house and "hood" perfectly, right down to my car!

Alligator.  We watched him for a long time.

Well, almost everybody was smiling :)

So sweet...Trey was crying because Carlie was being mean to him so big sissy, Makena decided to carry him.

If you're ever in Southeast Arkansas I would highly recommend the Gov. Mike Huckabee Delta Rivers Nature Center.  It was awesome.  I think we stayed there for almost two hours.  The kids are at the age now where they have longer attention spans, so we are able to stay and really look at things more than before.  The trail that we walked was great too.  Very serene and pretty.  It was a great family day and I'm so happy that Carl wasn't working so he could go with us :)

Friday Favorites

  Happy Friday, friends! Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for another Friday favorites. And here they are in no particular order: Last week our preacher told us that he had a surprise for us next week.  I had honestly forgotten about it until Carl mentioned at lunch on Sunday.  Trey said he knew what it was, but he wasn't telling.  It still didn't occur to me what it could be until we arrived at church on Sunday night, and I saw that Trey had a notebook along with his Bible sitting next to him on our pew.  It was him. Trey was the surprise.  He gave a short devotion before our Business Meeting.  He did well, considering it was his first time.  He said the congregation was a lot scarier when you are the one being stared at! This is a big deal because about 7 months ago he realized that he needed Jesus as his Savior.  And that came after about 7 months of me worrying about him, while he was trying to stretch hi...

Friday Favorites

 It's been a hot minute since I've linked up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for a Friday Favorites! This is me trying to get back into my blogging groove :) I came across this little dress last year when we moved, and I knew it would be fit Wrenley this summer! It was Makena's circa 2004.  I just love it when a plan comes together.  A favorite for sure! Look at those babies. Twenty years has flown by. Miss Wrenley Beth. She doesn't look a thing like her momma, but definitely has Aunt Makena's sass! Hopefully as her hair grows, she will get Carlie's curls. We have been doing as much outdoor activities as possible.  That includes one of my favorite things...fishing! Carl, showing off his big bass. We weren't technically bass fishing, but whatever bites. It'll eat! Of course we have also been going to the river.  Our kids weren't able to go with us, so we just took the jet ski.   It has been raining so the water is a gross brown. I didn't s...
