Spring Break in Arkansas!

For Spring Break this year my mom, Rachel, me and all the kids made the drive to Arkansas to see the other kiddos!  It was a long drive because we were only expecting it to take 11 or 12 hours and it took 14!  That was the worst part but it was so great once we got there!  Steph and the boys flew in also so we had all but 1 grandchild there at Abe and Sally's!  We didn't have the greatest weather but the kids still had a blast playing together!  We rarely heard from the older kids except when they were hungry. Cutler was clingy but still had fun playing with the boys!   
The kids enjoyed jumping on the tramp, riding the ranger, pulling each other down the hill, playing in the sand box, climbing into the tree house, and playing the kinect and that was just what they did around Abe and Sally's house!  We also got to go on a horse drawn wagon ride, ride some paddle boats, ride horses and pony's, see lots of baby animals, go rollerskating, and so much more. It was a fun filled week and when they did fall asleep they slept like rocks!   It was such a fun week and I hope that we can do it more often! My kids thoroughly enjoy the country living and being able to play outside all day!
Now for the overload of  pictures!

 The mother's of these kids were not to thrilled with this idea which made it all the more fun!

 The ranger was having some issues with the fuel pump so sometimes it would stop. Ronnee would get a little scared because the kids would tease that the coyotes were going to come get us or bears!  It was quite entertaining because she would get off and start booking in home!  Poor little thing! 

 This white horse scared Ronnee because she watches Flicka to much and there is mean albino horse in the movie!

 Cutler had his 2nd birthday while we were there!!

 Cj could have one the award for the most heart! He skated the whole 3 hours and fell down hundreds of times! We had to make him get off and eat a little snack so he could have some more energy.

 Charlie hated it!

 They all had so much fun and ate like champs when we got home!

It was such a fun week! We are so grateful for our family! What would we do without them!
