NWA, USA: Part 2

We were really excited to visit the Ozark history museum in Springdale! Jackson got to learn a little more about his cultural ancestry.



And we had a great time at Anne and Chris's house, where Chris made an awesome BBQ for all of us, including NaMe and Grandaddy, who came up from Magnolia.

After Petit Jean, we headed up to Fayetteville to see Anne and Chris. We enjoyed picnicking by the lake...


...and going to the summer reading festival at Anne's library in Springdale, where Jackson got to hear a mariachi band, play games, and get some cool prizes and tattoos.

Petit Jean Part 2: Museum of Automobiles

Before leaving Petit Jean, we visited the Museum of Automobiles: a definite highlight for Mama and Jackson, the petrolheads!

(We are very behind on our blogging! Mama is going to attempt to catch up over the coming days, and will backdate the blog entries, so check back often, and please scroll down in case you've missed any entries.)

After we left Magnolia back in July, we headed up to Petit Jean Mountain, where Mama and Uncle Chris and Aunt Anne went to summer camp at Camp Mitchell. We stayed in a log cabin at a holiday site called Tanyard Springs.

There was even a cabin for Jackson to play in.

It was so hot! Nonetheless, we did a few short hikes. We visited Petit Jean's grave...

...Rock House Cave...

...and Bear Cave.

Seussical the Musical

On our last day in Magnolia, we all went to ElDorado and had a nice Mexican lunch on the square with Jerry and Kay. Afterwards, Mama and Daddy took Elyot home to pack, and NaMe and Grandaddy and Jackson went to Seussical the Musical!

They really enjoyed it!

And Jacskon even got to meet some of the cast members afterwards.
