Road Trip

This summer we took our first family Road Trip. We drove up to Hot Springs Arkansas for the Meyer Family Reunion Vacation. It was a wonderful trip. The drive there took about 8 hours to Hot Springs and then another hour to the cabins on Lake Ouachita. We were nervous about the drive. Our kids had never been expected to be in the car that long, so we weren't sure how they would handle it.

We decided to leave at about 2:00 AM. Scott had gone to bed that night at about 7:30, so he got several hours of sleep before we left. The kids and I mostly slept until about 6:30 AM. At that time, we stopped for some gas and to stretch our legs. We stopped at a Denny's for breakfast at about 8:30 and then after that we had less than 2 hours drive to get to Hot Springs. The kids were great!

We got to Hot Springs around 11:00 or so and we had some time to kill. We walked around the mall, played some goofy golf, at lunch and then did some grocery shopping for our week. After that, we headed out to the lake.

There were thousands of these tiny frogs all over the golf course. Wyatt and Madeline spent most of their time catching and releasing these frogs. They were so cute!
