Mt. Magazine Sr. Trip

Jake Chessnut, Brian, Katie Holden, Courtney Ogilvie, Keeley Tuttle, Emily Holden, Blair Weatherford, Sam Griffin, Brendan Lee, and Parker Goforth
The girls and I got to go with Brian and some of our Seniors to Mt. Magazine State Park in Arkansas this past week! We had so much fun! We got to stay in the neatest Cabin, that overlooked a beautiful valley. It even had a hot tub out on the deck. (It was great, even though it was 100 degrees outside!) The highlight of my trip actually, was getting in the hot tub with the girls at 8:30 in the morning, before it was too hot. It was so relaxing! It is definitely a place that I would like to visit again someday! Chris Fransisco came and took care of the food for us. We got to stay in the cabin, but the rest of the group stayed in tents. A cabin with a hot tub is my kind of camping! Jamie, Thomas and Taylor came to do rapelling with the group. Mackenzie had SO much fun spending a few days with Taylor! One afternoon, a big thunderstorm came through. Mackenzie is TERRIFED of thunder (really, loud noises in general). She cried and cried...even though I was holding her. She was wrapped around me so tight...poor little thing. Taylor and I held hands with her and prayed that she wouldn't be scared. I think that helped a little bit. She wanted to be under the covers...I have never seen her so scared. The thunder was really loud. She eventually put herself to sleep under the covers. When she woke up, the thunder was gone and she was happy again! It is really fun when I get to take the girls' on Youth trips!

The view from our back patio! It was beautiful!

These sisters love each other! (And look so much alike!) I really notice in pictures like this just how big Madison is getting! She is turning into a toddler instead of a baby.

We all got in the hot tub in our clothes! (This was while the rest of the group was our rapelling!)

Madison liked the hot tub, she just didn't like it when I got out to take her picture. She wanted her momma...go figure!

Taylor is funny...she didn't want to get a sunburn!


Their "tent!"
Poor Mackenzie...she was scared to death of the thunder...she put herself to sleep under the covers!

These girls love each other!

Blair is so funny & great with kids!

Daddy took time to play Memory with Mack! Such a good daddy!

Mackenzie didn't last long in the Spoons game...it was a little loud and crazy for her!

Madison must have been tired...she is playing with Keeley's hair and sucking with her tongue! That's just what she does these days!

Madison kept taking chips...the girl likes to eat!

Mackenzie loves Keeley and Courtney! They work in Childcare at the church.

Sacked out in our King size bed...I couldn't quite figure out how I still only had 6 inches of room in such a big bed! Why do they have to sleep sideways?!
