Safari Saturday

Last weekend, we made plans to go to Little Rock for the weekend, but when those plans didn't work out, we decided to have a fun weekend anyway!  So we drove to Gentry on that beautiful sunshiny day and had the absolute BEST time!  We drove slowly through the safari drive through and just really enjoyed it!  Ethan is really into animals right now and Jackson is the life of any party so we just had a blast!  It took us an hour and half to get all the way through it and we saw so many animals - they were all out and playing!  After, we walked around the exhibits and saw some more cool animals like a white tiger cub and a baby monkey!  When we were leaving, we asked Jackson what his favorite thing was and he said "chasing those chickens!"  Yep, that WAS funny - almost as good as the zebra taking a bite out of my mirror... A perfect family outing!

 

Jackson and Ben's Adventurous Outing

A couple weeks ago, my good friend and neighbor Emily called me to ask if she could "steal" Jackson away to go walk the trails at Crystal Bridges... She took off w/ Ben, Jackson and sweet baby Noel in tow - off to climb, jump and run as much as they had the energy for! Jackson was more than thrilled and obviously from these amazing pictures that she took, you can see how much fun they had!  Jackson absolutely adores Ben - just like brothers.  I love that Em and I get to watch these two little boys - only 3 days apart - grow up together 2 houses apart.  That warms my heart.  Thank you Emily for taking my little munchkin on a such a fun retreat! 

Love these precious picures!!

These pics from their "leaf" fight are my favorite!  You can see the laughter and joy in their happy faces... 

Love these boys so much!

 

 "Hey Ben - let's do this again sometime soon." 

"Ya, Jackson - this is fun!"

"Ok Ben, I'll tell my mommy she can take us next time!"

"Sounds good!"
