Day 1 - Hot Springs

Monday we traveled to Hot Springs for a mini vaca with Dad and Ms. K. We started off with a trip to the Mid-America Museum. As soon as we walked in the doors I totally remembered the place!
Little Lion in front of the first display ~ the one that jogged my memory!


I didn't think I'd ever get my little engineers away from this display! All 3 of them were having so much fun. We even spent MORE time at it before we left.

Team work! Although we never did build a tower that even made it to the testing stage.

This was a great place for building team work skills! In fact it took all four of us to complete this task!

Sweet Success!

At the museum, we met up with my best friend while we lived in HS when I was a little girl. Her sweet girl is a spitting image of her! Little Pumpkin and Miss E. enjoyed the funny mirrors. I am SO bummed I didn't get a picture of the two of us! Another reason to go back I guess! *wink* Thanks Er for a great visit and remincsing.

This was as good of a together shot as I was getting! The caged lightening demonstration was just about to start! It was so cool. My pics don't do it justice, so I won't bore you. We couldn't talk Little Pumpkin to go up and get her hair to stand up . . . maybe in a few years!

That's enough for today . . .
Stayed tuned for more of Hot Springs!

  2. Looks like a lot of fun and my kind of place. We have a science/technology place up north that I love to visit. Glad everyone had fun.

  3. That looks so cool. I know Dan and Nat would enjoy a place like that to the max! I love your background on the blog too. The sparkly yarn a the edges adds great texture.

  4. I was wondering if you might be willing to mention my raffle/fundraiser. I would NOT ask if it wasn't for a great cause. Plus, there are over 90 donated prizes to win totaling over $3000.00! And who doesn't like to win??

    It's really a win-win for everyone. People get to help me meet my fundraising goal AND potentionally win big.

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE clickover and enter my raffle!! You can truly win TONS OF PRIZES (totaling over $3000.00 - gift cards, Starbucks coffee maker, $600 in camping equipment, gorgeous jewelry and more).

    It's for a great cause….

    6 years ago my Dad received a new heart.

    This is my way of giving back.
