Up & at 'em! Ready for her first boat ride.
We rented a pontoon boat for the day, so we all spent the morning cruising around the lake. Crown Lake is small, but very pretty, and not at all crowded.
Look up, E!
Evin spent much of the boat ride playing musical chairs.
She did enjoy driving the boat with PawPaw!
That afternoon, I went fishing with Mitch, Speedy & Pa. Fishing at this lake was HORRIBLE. We didn't even get a bite. Bummer!
I love how Pa is sporting Granny's sunshades, since he grabbed hers by mistake.
That afternoon we ran to the store to get a few things, and ended up with some popsicles, at Evin's request. She slurped it down in the muggy heat on the front porch. And I captured my favorite picture of the trip. I think it just screams summer!
The next day was our last full day there.
Evin and Pa made a game out of jumping over his walking stick. Pa did the holding, Evin did the jumping. :)

We drove to Hardy, a little town nearby, and did some shopping.
We wandered through some antique stores (hence Mitch's obvious excitement) and I found a cute clothing boutique.
love, love, love
We stopped for lunch and the restaurant had a big stage out front. You can tell a storm just blew through! Evin had the best time performing for us.
Ta-da!
Perfect pic!
You can just SEE her eyes dancing with mischief.
GiGi & Evin, headed off to her beloved yellow park.
Squirrels everywhere!
One last swim before heading back home in the morning.
We woke up, loaded up, and said our goodbyes.
We stopped to eat at Logan's on the way home and Evin was WILD. But I love how they were matching in yellow!
The drive home wasn't nearly as peaceful as the drive there. Evin was still pretty good but she had a few meltdowns and got whiny. I think we all felt pretty whiny about 5 hours into the drive. Those 7.5 hours could have been much worse, but we were so relieved when we pulled in the driveway. Thanks for a fun time, Arkansas!
