Arkansas and Missouri

The family traveled to Arkansas and Missouri last week. Scott's precious cousin who had lived for 50 years with cerebral palsy passed away. During her life she was never able to speak or walk however, her impact on those around her was profound. We went to celebrate her life and spend sometime with family.We enjoyed showing the girls around the town where their Nana and Paw had grown up.

These pictures were taken in the town of Mammoth Springs where Scott's parents grew up. They often visited this park, it is a place of fond family memories.

We also had a chance to spend sometime with Scott's cousin Derrick and his wife Savannah who live in southern Missouri. They were very gracious hosts who opened up their home and farm to us. The kids loved playing in their creek and seeing their cattle.

Charis enjoyed splashing and playing in the cool creek.

Grace loved every minute looking for rocks, sticks, critters, and as she called them "pieces of history".
