Camping at Bull Shoals State Park

In anticipation of a longer trip this summer, took a long week-end trial run in our travel trailer. The Casita is small, but it suits us perfectly. Enjoyed a few days of pure relaxation. It was fun watching so many matched pairs of red-headed woodpeckers tending to their nests.

Family Visit to Northwest Arkansas: Grandpa Charley and Papaw Merrill

Charlcie and I are blessed to still have our Dads - Ben has his Grandfathers, and Charlie and Tucker have their Great-grandfathers. We made it to Siloam Springs and Ft. Smith, so the four generations of us could spend some time together. Very special times!
