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!

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

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

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!...
