Arkansas is home to some of my favorite people! Thank you Uncle David for showing us such a wonderful time here.
We spent much of Friday touring around back roads on our way to Harrison to see my uncle. Boy has it been hot here! He took us up to Branson Missouri to see the Dixie Stampede. What a great show! It was so much fun and the animals were amazing. Pretty cool how its set like the civil war and you don't get silverware to eat with. FUN! We also went to Ripley's believe it or not which was full of weird stuff and some a little too weird.
The next day we went to this beautiful little place on the river that is one of Uncle D's favorite swimming holes. Very great place with beautiful scenery and a perfect swimming hole. Could have spent the whole day there! Hope to go back again soon.
Driving down Hwy 7 we went through the Ozarks and a bunch of little towns called things like Booger Holler which has a population of 7 including one hound dog! Hilarious!! Such beautiful country...just need to do away with these storms.
Lunch was in Russellville with my very hard to understand cousin...love ya Isaac! He is such a funny guy and so enjoyable to be around. Becca only remembered him as "the guy who is hard to understand". So glad she got to meet him again and we were all glad to meet Shelly. Great lunch and great company! They were giving me a hard time about not wanting to go on the interstate because of these crazy storms. Shelly was telling me that you only need to watch for tornado's when the hail comes...Ill be darned if we didn't take a round about way down a turny scenic road to avoid the interstate and a warning came on the radio that there were 60 mile an hour winds and hail the size of dimes ON THE INTERSTATE where we would have been if I had not taken the scenic route.!! See who's right now?? LOL
We stayed in Texarkana last nite and are now off to Shreveport to see the US rose garden testing garden. Over 1000 types of roses you can walk through...should be fun in the 109 temp we saw yesterday. :-) Then airport and HOME!
By the way Im looking forward to clear blue skies!
