Visit Wrap Up

 We had such a  nice visit... spending time at home together, out and about exploring and of course shopping, cooking and eating! 
The pictures are all out of order - taken from 4 different cameras and I know there's a lot so I'll just label them as they loaded... the top one is the tree where we found the eagle near Beaver Lake - do you see it towards the top?

 Prairie Grove, AR
 Cane Hill - the museum where Emily's art is on display..










It was so crowded the night we went for the opening, it was nice to have the place practically to ourselves to see all the art pieces there.
