We headed to lower Arkansas the last weekend in July to visit Cmom and Grandfather. They retired and moved there in March. This was our first trip down. The five hour drive with two toddlers in Daniel's little company car was enough to make me scared of the trip. Add a potty trainer in to that mix and I was not looking forward to it at all. The drive ended up going smoothly. Caroline cried the first hour and Sarah cried the last hour. Not terrible but not great either. My sister loaned us her double DVD player so the girls had that to watch. Both slept at some point in the drive which was a wonderful little break! We had a really pretty drive so that was nice too! Oh, and I'm happy to report SJ had no accidents on the drive. Yay! We did pull over once and had to let her pee in a parking lot. Daniel held the potty seat and I held her on it. I wish we could have gotten a picture because I'm sure we looked hilarious!
Jim and Connie's land is so nice. They are on their own 300 acres with around 100 cattle. It was really green down there. The girls enjoyed rides on the ranger and visits with the family friends. Of course, Connie spoiled us all with wonderful meals every day. Wish they weren't so far away but we are glad we got to go visit!
