Me and My Babe
D loved the river!
So last week we took a family vacation. We went to Ponca, Jasper and Eureka Springs Arkansas. It was Me, Chuck, Delia, and My Mom and Dad. It was so nice to get away. We rented cabins while we were there. The cabins were kinda a bust for the price of $300 a night. They claimed to be luxury cabins, but the kitchen was full of mouse poop, disgusting, and a few rather large ants. But other than that the trip was fun. The town of Ponca was a very small mountain town that has no cell phone reception unless you drive to the top of the mountain and the whole town has absolutely no TV reception. :) We went horse back riding, the men went fishing and we all enjoyed swimming in the river and just relaxing. The last day we stopped in Eureka Springs and did some shopping and got some Old Timey Pics taken. Me and Chuck had one of these pictures taken on our honeymoon at the same place so we had one taken with D in the picture now. They were a blast.
Delia loved the river! She loved to throw, chew and play with the rocks. The water was very clear and she was fasinated with all of the fish you could see. My pics are on facebook if you want to see them.
As a result of our trip we kinda liked to make fun of some of the things in AR, cause come on you are in AR you have to especially being an Okie at heart. Some of my closest friends are from AR and so I know everyone is not this way. We thought some of them were very funny but maybe it was just one of those we have been in the car to long listening to "Baby Einstein" videos moments. But we compiled a short list out of fun of "Only In AR", I hope you enjoy!
Only in Arkansas......
....will you see a "Johnny Jimmy's Gourmet Sandwiches" by a "Joe's Pizza and Pasta".
....will you see a man wearing camo shorts with a women's black bikini top on.
....the local convient store/grocery store is the biggest hangout for the locals.
....see a salon called "Twisted Scissors Hair and Day Spa" out in the middle on no where.
....see a 4-wheeler and a golf cart driving down a main highway.
....see a Confederate Flag on every other house or mailbox.
....see two family names on one mailbox.
....see a lady riding a horse down the side of the road wearing wranglers that are tucked into her jeans, a bikini top and drinking a bottle of beer.
....do you have to drive up the mountain to get cell phone reception.
Hope you all have a blessed week! Lyndsey
