Our evacuation experience

We evacuated to Texarkana and were blessed to stay with some awesome friends. It ended up being like a mini retreat. Very relaxing! It was such a peaceful place. We stayed in an apartment that was on top of a horse barn. The kids were so excited about that! They got to walk down each day and pet the 2 horses that were below us! It was awesome! It was a place you don't want to leave! Here are some pictures from our trip:


Jon Michael and Ashlynn got to ride one of the horses. They had a blast!






Here is Jonathan "Q ing" it up for everyone:

Mr. Chuck had a really cool scooter. The kids didn't want to get off of it:


Emily got to take a bath in the sink. She thought she was so cool:-)


Here they are in the barn:

There were what Jon Michael calls "nature trails". They got to go walk down the hilly paths.

We were up north and our kids were playing in the sand....how funny is that!?! They buried each other in the sand:



This cat was so funny. It was sitting on it's butt!


Here is the crew (minus a few) Our awesome friends: Heith, Mr. Chuck(Heith's dad), Brennen(Heith's brother), and Jessica. Heith's mom Mrs. Karen stayed home with Harper while we went eat some ice cream.

This is a pic of the ride up there. Jam packed in the van:




This is the view from our deck:



This is the drive way from the barn up to Heith's parents house. It was so pretty!



Cowboy Jonathan :-)

Emily didn't like the sand. When she would walk in it all she would say is "YUCKY!"



Emily liked the kitties :-)
