Rounding out our trip...

Our second week in Arkansas was jam packed with visits as well!

Monday...lunch at Scallions with Ryan and Sue, my former boss and co-worker! Riley was more fascinated with playing in the rocks since we ate outside than eating her food...that girl just doesn't realize how much she missed out on...her grilled cheese was sooo good!

Tuesday we sort of laid low and I snuck out for ice cream with Andrea after Riley went to bed and we had Coldstone and stayed out WAY too late talking!

Wednesday we had lunch with Angela, another former co-worker, at US Pizza in the Heights...our usual place! For dinner I met up with Sue and Debbie...two very special ladies in my life...we had wine and Bang Bang shrimp at Bonefish and it was a beautiful night so we sat out on the patio and caught up!

Thursday we met with Tamey, another former co-worker, at Canon Grill...our usual place as well!

Thursday night we went to dinner at Megan's house...I stole pics from Megan AGAIN because she just captures life so well.

Riley showed off her "All the Single Ladies" dancing skills...and she impressed Dave so much that he burned us Beyonce's ENTIRE cd...so sweet of him. Dave...it has been playing non-stop in my car since we got home!

It was such a nice evening so we took a walk and went to feed the ducks in Megan and Dave's neighborhood...Riley had a blast!

When we got back she tried on several of Dave's WWII hats...
Only in Dave and Megan's house would I ever expect to find this book...Riley took a gander!

Thanks Megan for a delish meal and a wonderful evening!

Friday Riley had a play date with her old BFF from school, Haylie!

They were sort of unsure about each other at first because obviously they didn't quite remember each other...but they decided that sharing tea together in a sterile environment would be fun...love Haylie's face in this pic!

Then they tried riding together in the bath tub...after a few tipping moments they decided to move onto something else!

So they pushed each other in the stroller!

They were hugging and holding hands before we left...and had a blast jumping on Haylie's bed!

Friday night we had a family dinner...except CJ was out being a stud at his school dance so he didn't get to join us!

We went to YaYa's for dinner and it was soooooo good!

Riley sure loves her DiDi and Doc!

I sure love Gaby!

After dinner we strolled over to Maggie Moo's for some ice cream!

Saturday we went to have lunch with Scott and Laurie and then the day was spent doing all kinds of fun things...

Doing art...

playing the piano...

riding horsies...

loving on her Bubba...

jumping on the trampoline...

love this girl!

Saturday night it was family night again...this time Doc and Gaby were at a father-daughter camp out so it was DiDi and Bubba that we spent the evening with!

Can't leave Arkansas without some BBQ...Whole Hog was our place of choice!

and since Bubba had missed out on Maggie Moo's the night before we went again!

Riley chose the BLUE cotton candy ice cream and she was a mess...and it came out the same color that it went in so a few days later we had blue doodoo balls...glad they ended up in the toilet!

We had a blast in Arkansas and still wished we had more time to spend with everyone. Ironic because today marks the one year anniversary of the day we pulled out of Little Rock on our journey to the West coast. We love and miss everyone and thanks for taking the time to hang with us while we were there!
