This summer the kids and I spent a couple of weeks in Arkansas with my folks. There is always plenty to do out there in the "deep dark woods" as Natalie calls it. It's nice to be able to enjoy the outdoors. Natalie's favorite outdoor activity now is visiting the chicken coop! And this time she got her first egg from the nest. Love these two pics of Joaquin. He's such a mess!
On this visit we decided to take a day to go to the Little Rock Zoo. I hadn't been there in ages. It was a bit hotter than we preferred but the kids did really well.
As soon as we walked in the zoo we could hear these howler monkeys. They were on a roll! I could have listened to them forever but Joaquin didn't share my sentiments. There was another type of smaller monkey that was just as vocal and responsive to us being there so it was fun to interact with them.
Our other adventure was spent out at my Granny's house for the day. She saved a big squash for Natalie to pick, but she was a little hesitant to grab it. So we let wild man do it! Once she saw him she was ready to pick away. She got a couple squash and tomatoes. Maybe she will be ready to help me plant a garden next spring.
I had to capture a picture of Granny in the kitchen because that wraps up who she is! Even in her 90s she is frying up some amazing squash. Yum! I enjoyed spending the day with her and letting her embrace the kiddos. Good memories are always made at Grannys.
