Sophia took this opportunity to tell us everything she learned on her field trip to the Arkansas Heritage Museum. One of those things, was that "in the 1800s, people used to poop in a bowl," which has been a constant topic of conversation with Amelia ever since.
When we rounded the corner at saw Pinnacle Mountain, Sophia said "oh my gosh! That is the HUGEST mountain I have EVER seen in my WHOLE life!"
Davis and I immediately decided it was time to take a trip to some real mountains SOON!
By the way, that was not the tallest mountain Sophia had seen, in fact, she has been on top of a much higher mountain - but she was only one, and she doesn't remember.
There were lots of fun things to see and do. Bear skins, axe throwing, Indian dancing and tee pees, horses.
When we got thirsty, we stopped by Miss Lucy's Saloon to wet our whistles.
Before leaving, the girls each got to pick out a keepsake. I gave them $5, and Sophia had to figure out what they could afford (there were lots of $2 and $3 items). Sophia chose this recorder
And Amelia got a bracelet.
It was a fun (mostly free - parking is $10, but admission is free) way to spend a lovely Saturday afternoon. I just want to soak up as much of these days as I can. It was so hot all summer, and soon it will be too cold to spend all day outside.
Now we're home, watching the Razorback game (Sophia is predicting an easy victory, I'm biting my nails.) Henry is happy eating train tracks.

I thought about going out to Pinnacle today. We just had too many errands. Sorry about the Razorbacks. My Longhorns had a good day though - Hook 'um. Okay, I hear the groan:)
