July 4th

The cute lil kitchen and the bedroom with the pull out bed.

The fish we are both holding is the one I caught. :) It was the biggest one of the 2 we caught!

This is from July 4th but I thought some people would enjoy seeing the pics and hearing about our mini vacation. Dan and I decided to go to my great aunt's cabin in Heber Springs. My Aunt Kay and Uncle Van live on the Red Apple golf course in Heber Springs but a couple miles down the road they have some farm land with a couple of ponds, some horses, cows, etc. They also have a one bedroom little ole cabin on that land. We went up on Friday and had lunch with Aunt Kay and Uncle Van at their house and took a tour of their house and her magnificent garden. Then she took us down to the cabin and we got ready to go fishin'. Well, when you have a Chocolate Lab that absolutely loves the water and doesn't obey very well, it's hard to fish. We got down there and got all set up and we left Rex in the car with the windows cracked so he wouldn't get in the water and disturb the fish. Before we could even get down to the bank he had jumped out of the window and dove straight in the water. Needless to say we only caught one or two fish that afternoon but it was still a blast. We had fun visiting with my aunt and uncle and just being outside relaxing.

Once we quit fishing we went to the cabin and let me just tell you about this awesome cabin. It has a front porch and a huge back porch. When you go in from the front you walk straight into the kitchen that has a sink and a portable stove and a fridge. She put some really cool, old decorative things in there to make it look real rustic. There is a small half bath off the kitchen and to the right of the kitchen is the bedroom/living room/den. It had a small tv with a couch that folded out into a bed. It was the neatest little place I have ever seen. That is right up Dan and I's alley too b/c we love the outdoors and we hope to one day build our own log cabin to live in and raise our kids in. Anyways, out back is just some more land but there is a creek that flows a little ways back there. We went romping around in that Saturday morning.

On Friday night cooked us some hot dog wieners on the portable stove and made some smores. YUMMY!!! After dinner we took baths in the sink with washcloth and soap. It was a fun experience. We went and watched the fireworks display put on in downtown Heber Springs. It was really good. Saturday we got up and it was absolutely pouring down rain! It rained most of the morning but we did go back out and fish for a little while and caught nothing. Rex even stayed back at the cabin for that trip. We took him to the creek to play that afternoon.

Daniel's grandma and dad both live in Heber so we went and had lunch with his mom and grandma on Saturday and then visited with his dad after lunch. IT was good to see them b/c we don't get to do that very often. We went back, packed up and headed home that night since it was raining so much. We knew we probably wouldn't catch anymore fish.

It was a great weekend and we can't wait to do it again! Hopefully soon.
