Waterfall

Here's another photo from todays outing. This is as you can tell in front of the waterfall. Tanyard Creek Nature Trail in Bella Vista. Very pretty area & if you are the outdoorsy type you would really enjoy this place.

What's that I see?

I've been hearing about a waterfall in Bella Vista. A friend of mine said she knew where it was. We made plans to take our kids on a little photo shoot. Those plans had to be postphoned because Chris surprised me w/ a trip to Branson for my birthday. So today was the day we finally met up & did our Bella Vista trip. We went to a beautiful park w/ bluffs, cave, a brook, & a small waterfall. At the Tanyard Creek Nature Trail we hiked to the waterfall, then decided to hike to the dam. Around the dam is where they had this boat ramp area w/ a couple small docks. Perfect place for more photos, lol. Logan was making me nervous since he kept leaning over & looking in the water at the fish. Thank goodness he didn't fall in, although April assured me that she was certified in water rescue & would save him if she needed to. But still the thought of my child falling in the water........yikes!! We got an early start & it started getting hot towards the dock pictures. We ended our outing w/ lunch at Wendys.

They are back home & tired!

Chris & I picked the kids up from camp this morning. Logan had fun but was getting homesick & happy to see us. Steph was sad for leaving her counselors. She gave us a big hug though when she saw us. She did mountain biking, smash ball, & tubing at the lake. Logan did mini golf, & the trapeze at the cove. Other than one shirt being lost (Logan's) I think he kept up w/ everything. As you notice this post is in blue for Osage. That is the tribe both Stephanie & Logan are in. They are to tired to go out to the pool.

Camp War Eagle

This is Stephanie's 4th year at Camp WE & Logan's 1st. He told me he was a little excited but a little nervous too. Stephanie told him that it was okay she was a little nervous too. I didn't tell him but I was nervous also. He was more than ready to stay & didn't even want to give his mom a hug goodbye. We did an air knuckle touch like him & his dad do. That is more boyish so it was okay I guess. No telling what kind of independent young man I'm going to pick up on Saturday.

Summer Fun

We spend a big part of our summer afternoons in the pool. The kids would be out there all day if I'd let them, however they would be burned to a crisp. So I try to have them wait till the afternoon when the house is shading the water & we don't have to mess with sunblock. Another thing they don't like....sunblock. It's a big pain getting it up & runnning & shut down & messing with all the trips to the pool place for hoses & chemicals, but I'm so glad we bought it. I can't imagine a summer with out the pool now.

In this picture Stephanie & Logan are playing ball with Chris.

The blog band wagon

Looks like I finally jumped onto the blog band wagon. Hopefully I won't fall off & be able to keep up with it. Time will only tell.
