I picked up the kids a few minutes early today and
we headed over to the bakery to get some yummies.

After swimming this afternoon we headed
down to
our library for some serious fun at Lamanpalooza.

They had all kinds of games set up (jumpy castles, face painting, fire truck, police car, ambulance tour, fish, food, clowns…) and Trout Fishing in America was the headliner. The kids had a great time!
A great Friday!

(They don’t have their own website, but do have a facebook fan page.)
The Red Haven and Early Loring’s were in
We only picked a bushel and a half this year (150 lbs!)
Of course 75 lbs were for others (and yes, we can eat 75 lbs probably before I get them canned or frozen.)
This song kept going through my head…

This weekend my eldest one had to do her SCUBA open water dives for her certification. The big event was to be held in Lake Ouachita, so we decided to make it a weekend.
Me, being a moron when it comes to Arkansas weather (I know, STILL! It’s only been like 18 yrs since I’ve lived here, right?) decided we should camp by the lake since “it will be cooler than it is in the city.” Ahem…
It was NOT. It was HOT! And the “neighbors” in the campsite across from us let their kids stay up SCREAMING in the bathrooms until about 3am, while they drank much liquor and talked very loud. (Needless to say the next morning we woke up to take E to catch the diveboat and proceeded to take down the tent and I started calling hotels.)
We rented a party barge for the day and took the boys out for some fun. Next visit I think we’ll take a boat and camp on the lake edge in the woods.
Leaving the Marina
Swimming with the Fishies
Jumping Off the Boat!
We hit the Mid America Museum and the Pirate Cove Mini-Golf (boys’ choices.)
Pirate Peg-Leg Just Hanging Out
Hole in One!
Eat at J’s Italian Villa if you are there! FANTASTIC! Hot Springs is a fun place. Lots to do for the entire family (museums, hiking, art galleries, hot spring baths, lake, race track…)

We celebrated Father’s Day by serving daddy-o breakfast in bed, then going to the Old Mill
, a park close to our house. (It was seen in the opening of Gone With the Wind
for you trivia buffs.) It was way too hot to stay long, so came back and everyone is swimming…

Inn at the Mill
Scott and I went to WordCamp this weekend in Fayetteville. Now, I do have a WP blog but haven’t used it yet, and thought this would help me decide whether to move my blog or not. I attended the blogger section and Scott the developer section. I think I needed the “baby” section because I was a bit lost honestly. Think I was one of maybe 2 people without a laptop or iPad. There were some great presenters! When the acronyms started flying I knew I was in trouble. Plus- the Twittering was out of control. I have a Twitter ID and know how to check in, but rarely do. The only time I have my cell phone in my hand is when I’m out of the house, which usually means I’m driving so not going to be “tweeting” anyone. I felt like a dork because I just found out what a hashtag is. We met some fun folks, some actually live in our neck of the woods so maybe I’ll have to start chirping (tweeting, whatever.)
(I did find out I was doing some things right that I didn’t even know about which made me feel pretty good.)
Pretty Poppies in the Square
Scott Spinning the Peace Ball
The weekend was so beautiful that we couldn’t make it through all the workshops. We’d taken our bikes so we dodged out after lunch and rode bikes from the square down Dickson street, up to the campus. Wow has it changed since we went there! Fayetteville itself has really changed too. When we were up there I think there was almost nothing to do. Now it would be hard to be a student with any money in your pocket and not be out having fun. (Of course, I had none of that- money that is- in college!) We drove by our old dorms, apartments, and haunts to see what they look like now.
Old Main (University of Arkansas)
Hugo’s (Where we had our 1st official date!)
We did make it back for the after party which was fun. (Especially because we both won doorprizes!)
Anyway… Scott says WordPress is pretty durn cool and thinks I should switch, I think I just need a week or more to make the conversion so it will be awhile. Hey, do any of you WP users have any tips or reasons why I should go through all this?
