Arkansas

I admit I had absolutely no clue of what to expect in Arkansas. Well, actually that’s not true. Jimmy told me about all the green I will see, the ticks, the people, the food…but I guess I never really thought about it until I got there.

And even though I firmly believe that pictures are worth a thousand words, I think that my images are not great enough to convey the beauty of the place, the heat, and the fun I had. Let me give it a try…tell me what you think!

Good ‘ole City of Norman

 

 

The view from the front of Jimmy’s great uncle’s house…absolute nothingness, and very, very green.

 

 

 Jimmy’s great uncle owns a shoe shop, so I stepped in and photographed him in action.

 

 

 

I think Uncle Bill was pretty stoked to have a handsome helper by his side who took orders and charged $1 for shoe repair!

 

 

 

 I, of course, got me some 4-wheeler action. YEE-HAH!

 

 

One of our favorite past times was to throw ice across the road. Yup, it was pure excitement.

 

 

We took an 8-hour boat ride around Lake Ouchita, which was totally ginormous.

 

 

On one of the days, we even drove out to the crystal mine. I swear it was the hottest day there. I didn’t even last a minute. Don’t hate, it was more than 100 degrees!

 

 

 

On our last night, we went to grandma’s high school reunion. Love the cute classroom!

 

 

 

I left Arkansas feeling totally content. Up next…Louisiana!
