Samantha found this little frog on the pole of the tent. It was a very light grey, almost silver, like the metal of the pole.
He jumped on her shirt and it scared me more than it did her!
He blended in so well with the little grey rocks. He got darker the longer he was there.

Gerald and I went out by ourselves tonight and I had the best steak I have ever(ever, ever, ever) had in my life at Cafe Klaser. It's right on the river and a neat place. Gerald had their signature dish, the stuffed steak. It's stuffed with a crawfish and rice and wrapped in bacon. He said it was great.
The food was so good, we went back Friday night and took the whole family!

Every time we'd start pulling someone, Zeus would lay down in his spot, but as soon as the boat stopped he was right back up running around trying to see what was going on. I'm not sure he likes being in the boat so much. . . he just hates being away from his people more!

We had a VERY uneventful experience with the trout fishing. . .
but at least we put money into the AR Game and Fish budget when we bought our permits!
This is mostly what I caught. . . at least it was my favorite color!

Gerald's dad gave him the ride of his life on that tube!He rolled across the water at least five times on this fall!

I got so tickled watching them ride the tube! They bounced around everywhere and smiled the whole time!
Samantha decided she wanted to roll off. . .
so Jackson counted to three and off they went!

The water is where we spent most of our time!
My bro-in-law, Dusty, is a show-off on the skiis! :)
Gerald's pretty good on them, too.
Samantha loves riding the tube with her mom!

We headed to Heber Springs today for the first day of an 11-day stay. I've been looking forward to this vacation since January!
After we got our camper set up, we headed up to Batesville to Gerald's aunts house for a visit.

I didn't take a pic today, so here is one from a few nights ago. The sky was so awesome and I was standing on my porch trying to catch a lightening bolt. I finally did, but it was way off in the distance and it doesn't really show up too well here.

Noticed this line all over the hood of my car. Thought it was a scratch at first, but then noticed it was a trail in the dew.
And here's who made it.

WARNING: This post is going to get a little bit "National Geographic" on you. But, hey, it's nature and I just documented it. hahaha! (And I still want to vomit everytime I think about it! . . . so of course, gotta gross all of you out, too!! :) lol)
I'm not sure what kind of bird this is. . . so if anyone knows, please leave a comment and tell me. This Mama Bird. She built her nest under the covered area of the entrance to the church.

This is "Baby D" as I've come to call him. Don't you just love that hair-do!! 
Baby D starts chirping for Mama Bird to bring his breakfast. He has 3 other brothers/sisters.
Here's Mama Bird flying in to feed a couple of the babies. I think it looks like the babies are singing the Hallelujah Chorus.
Mama Bird didn't forget Baby D. How could she?? He's the loudest!
I've always thought it was pretty gross how a mama bird had to stick her face in her baby's mouth to feed it. . .

Mama Bird didn't forget Baby D. How could she?? He's the loudest!I've always thought it was pretty gross how a mama bird had to stick her face in her baby's mouth to feed it. . .Mama Bird seems to be thinking "I just fed him and he's still hollering!" I think all of us mothers have experienced that feeling at one time or another.
Mama Bird telling the babies, "You better stop that whining before I give you something to whine about!"
So, as I'm taking pics, I notice Baby D start rooting around and shaking his tail feathers and looking like he is going to fall out of the nest backwards. . . so I keep watching and shooting. . .
However, I was NOT prepared for this!! Baby D had to use the bathroom and before he could finish himself, Mama Bird reached down and pulled that 'stuff' right out for him! (Gag!! GROSS! I almost vomited!!)

I guess she called herself keeping her nest clean, but he was already hanging over the edge and it would have hit the ground and I wouldn't have had to be so sick at my stomach for the entire morning. I did say a quick little 'thank you' prayer: "THANK YOU, God, for not making me a bird!!" I would have been a single, childless bird forever!!
I'm SO ready for these little babies to fly the nest!! I'm so tired of the bird poop that Mama Bird DOESN'T fly off with being all over floor in front of the doorway!

This pretty moth was on my porch today. I was afraid it was going to fly off before I could go get my camera. 
But, then I got to looking at it's body and I really didn't think it would be able to fly with that big ol' body it has. This moth definitely "got back".
When I was outside taking pics of the moth, I noticed my little rose bush had a couple of roses on it. I'm so proud. I've had this rose bush for SEVERAL years. It was planted in the front yard, but it never grew, and then a couple of years ago, Jackson just started mowing over it. I finally dug it up this year and put it in a container on the porch.

This is my 50cent plant from Lowe's. I saw a 6-pack of almost dead flowers for 50cents and I took it as a challenge. I planted them all and only this one survived. It's really spread out and grown.
