Family Vacation Part I... Little Rock and Hot Springs

We spent Fourth of July weekend visiting Keith's family at their lake house in Arkansas. The ride down was great -- Sophia was pretty happy most of the trip because she had a pacifier to play with -- something she normally only sees during naptime or bedtime. Instead of heading directly to the lake house, we spent our first night/day in Little Rock. We had big plans for lots of sight seeing -- which we ended up changing because it was too warm.

Sophia poses next to a figure at the waterfront park.

We'd hoped to see the Peabody Ducks but settled for a statue instead.

After settling in at the lake house, we headed out the next day to Hot Springs. The old-fashioned toy store was a big hit, as well as the multiple fountains, and stroller ride.


By the end of the stroller ride, Sophia fell fast asleep. We had to take a picture as an ambulance flew by with sirens blaring and Sophia didn't wake up -- or even stir -- very rare for our light sleeper!
