Tractor rides
















Uncle Jon took the kids for tractor rides. Joe thought it was awesome. The jury is still out for Anastasia.

Gentleman Farmer













The kids practiced driving the golf cart, fished for Brim and were chased by cows. Evidently, one cow took a dislike to Joe and charged him. Jon fended him off and all was well. Each time Joe relates this, it becomes a grander tale!

Uncle Jon's farm


















We had a great time visiting with Mawmaw, Uncle Tim, Aunt Marg, Uncle Jon, Aunt Pam, Kyle, Stormy, Craig, Erika, Adam, Katrina, and Andrea. It was nice to relax and visit. We picked Jon's beans and okra, fed the cows and went fisihing. The kids did not want to leave.

The long trek to Arkansas




It took us a bit longer than normal, but after 19 hours, we made it from Tampa to Memphis. I should have used my life line to call Jon and ask for the insider track. But, I think that we did quite well, we got vouchers, coupons and even got our pics taken with the pilot and co-pilot. Take a close look at Joe, maybe this was part of the delay:)

Chillin' in the pool











The first day or so, Anastasia did not want to leave the step, but she soon warmed up and began swimming. Joe was a pro and he took to his new snorkle and mask. He improved so much that we went to the deep end looking for dive sticks. He can make it to the bottom of the 8ft. Wow, they are two fish!!

Flume and Caraousel















We ended our adventure at the flume ride. The kids loved it and as there were no lines we stayed on for several rides. We got pretty soaked, but it was great and a pretty hot day.

Banana Ride







The kids flew in the bananas and had a laughed. The first time, Ana was not really excited, but Joe thought it was funny.
