Trip to Nana's

We went to Arkansas this weekend to visit my grandmother.  We were going to fly but the flights were not looking very good for our free standby travel so we decided to drive.  It was a 5 1/2 hour drive from Dallas. The kids did very well.  Thank goodness for carseats!  They mostly watched their videos, snacked, sang songs, and we made frequent stops to let them run around.  There were a couple of times that Audrey cried but once she figured out that she was not going anywhere, she fell back asleep.

When we pulled up at her house, she greeted us with a pot roast and gravy.  It was delicious.  Even Audrey ate her greenbeans.  Matthew enjoyed all the animals - 2 dogs, birds, cat, and a fish.  The weather cooled down but we were still able to enjoy the outdoors.  The kids played hide and seek around the tall trees.  We went to a nature center on Saturday and the kids enjoyed walking the nature trail and seeing the different native animals.  We also had arts and crafts time by making some pictures of pumpkins.  Audrey loved paiting the apple and then stamping it on the construction paper. 

We went to church with Nana on Sunday and then we enjoyed a big breakfast before heading back home.  The kids were anxious to get back in their own beds.
