For years Bruce's grandparents have wanted to go to Arkansas to visit family and thank goodness it finally worked this summer! We left on a Friday and stayed through Monday. It was a little sketchy getting there, but we finally made it and had a great time!
The first day that we were there, we had planned an all day guided trout trip. I was a little worried about Cooper going all day, but he loved ALMOST every minute of it.

| Coop's first catch. I wish I would have had a video because he was SOOOOO excited |

| Back to catching fish |
 |
| The scenery was beautiful. I could have stayed out there all day. |
 |
| We made it to the end and only I got sunburned! |
The amount of fish we caught was ridiculous! Seriously, I bet it was 150-200. Almost constantly there was a fish if not two or three on our lines. Cooper had a great time reeling them in and we had fun watching him so happy. If only all fishing was as easy as this was!
After, there was a natural spring swimming hole next to the dock and we had to play there for a bit too.

| He caught a little lizard |

 |
| Such a brave guy! |
 |
| There he goes! |
The next night we went out on Lake Norfork and the boys jumped off some cliffs. Cooper is getting entirely too brave for me! On our way home, we stopped in Springfield and Bass Pro Shops. We definitely could have spent more time there, but were ready to be home!

| Seriously, beautiful |

| This could be dangerous...and it was! |
