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

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

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...
