Good Friends...Good Times

Today I had to work, If you can call hanging out with good friends and spending the afternoon at a National Park work!

Actually I did have to drive down to Ft. Smith just to find out that the problem had been resolved by the customer before I arrived (which tells me that it wasnt much of a problem to begin with) oh well that the way it works.

We met up with some very good friends of our at Pea Ridge National Military Park this afternoon. The kids completed the Jr. Ranger program to add to their resume! the park was having "Battle of Pea Ridge Civil War Heritage Festival" Unfortunatley we got there a bit to late to take part in the activities, We will have to watch the calendar and try again.

We got our National Park Passport stamped...Only the park ranger put the stamp in the wring section of the book...Arkansas is in the "southwest" and we were stamped in the Midwest. Thats ok though because the same thing happened in New Mexico, which is also part of the southwest. The ranger @ white sands put the stamp in the section for the west region.

After driving through the battlefield we went and had ice cream @ the buss stop in Garfield. the Icecream is huge. It more than 1 person should consume. Sarah & I each got a cone and shared with the kids (and everyone had their fill). We had planned to go see a drive in movie this evening, but changed plans on account of the weather forcast. We went to our friends house and had dinner with them and had a great time visiting. It didnt ever rain either - but had we kept our plans you know it would have!
