Family Vacation -- Part II

We started Fourth of July with a boat ride. We toured the lake and went down to the dam (where all the brave people jumped into the cold water -- myself not included), enjoying the scenery all the way. Sophia enjoyed staring at the waves behind us as well as trying to keep her eyes open as the wind blew in her face.

On the way back, Sophia tried desperately to stay awake -- she was standing up and falling asleep at the same time. Eventually she gave in and fell asleep in my arms.


When we got back to the house, we managed to take off the life jacket, change her diaper, and lay her down -- all while she stayed fast asleep.
We had a great time in Arkansas -- and so did Sophia!

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.

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!

Father's Day

It's a month late but here it is: two meltdowns, three outfit changes, and four jellybeans = one Father's Day tradition. :)
