Makena's Class Trip: Delta Rivers Nature Center

Today was the beginning of field trip season!  I get to go on three field trips over the next three days!!  It will be exciting and busy!  I love that I get to spend a day focused on each of them with their class and friends.  It should be fun! 
Today we ventured to the Delta Rivers Nature Center in Pine Bluff.  We went there (our family) a couple of years ago and had a lot of fun, but it is so much different going in a big group!  We went on a nature hike, watched them feed gold fish to some really big fish, archery (Makena's favorite part!), and we also got to play with all the stuff in the center itself.  The kids had fun, but I think most of them are like Makena and agree that archery was the best!  After we were done there we went to the park, which was just around the corner and played for a little while, but man was it hot today!  Most of the time I wouldn't complain, but between these injections I'm getting (hot flash city!!) and the fact that we have to wear pants or long capri's (I had on jeans!), I was ready to leave the park within 20 minutes!!  So after we left, the teacher took them to McDonald's and got them all an ice cream cone :)
It was a great day and I'm so glad that I got to spend it with my sweet Makena!

Mommy and Makena day!!
 
Cam, Hailee, Anna Grace, and Makena listening to our guide, who by the way, was really full of himself.
 
If you look closely you can see a deer.  That deer was either deaf or half stupid to not run off when all of our bunch was coming down the trail!
 
She was happy because she had already shot once and was the best (of course)!
The other kids were at a disadvantage against her :)

Fun at the Park!  This is a silly picture :)

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 his wings.  He has a re-directed path now and I pray e

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 say we went swi

Back To School Photo Shoot: The Girls

The girls were of course more than eager to do their pictures, T however, was not.  That is why we still haven't done it yet!  Hmmm....maybe a bribe would work!  He's been wanting Open Season 2 out of the $5 bin at Wal-Mart :)  We are super excited about Open House tomorrow night and about school on Monday :)  Beth
