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! 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 ...
