Leaves-S'mores-Friends

Friday we left after work to drive down to Arkansas for the weekend. We had Rae with us and we dropped her off in Springfield because she was running marathon #69 on Sunday. We had a fun-filled weekend full of leaves, minnows, a visit to the Daisy BB Gun Museum, yummy food, a new rope swing, s'mores, friends, family, horses, a pond, and a fly fishing trip!! The Collins family drove down from KC to join in the AR fun. Henry and Ben enjoyed having Sawyer around and all 3 boys seemed to enjoy themselves in the great outdoors. Thanks to my parents for the delicious food and entertainment and thanks to the Collins family for making the trip! We love hanging out with you guys!

Ben and Sawyer LOVED the leaf pile!

Henry thought it was so cool that he could see his breath.

The minnows are always a BIG hit....don't worry, we let them go in the McKenzie's pond on Sunday before we left!
