Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)

We woke up this morning and Reagan was ready to go on a trip. She couldn't understand why Dad had to go to work and Anderson kept trying to go to the van in his pajamas this morning. Mom probably said a thousand times that this was going to be a short trip. But she forgot to tell Anderson that we were not going in a plane and he has asked a few times today "plane?" We left the house around 12:30 and made it to Hot Springs and dropped Robby off at the races-his work team was spending the afternoon there. He made a little bit (and I mean a little bit) of money while we were out spending in at Walmart. We didn't spend that much since Mom was couponing but she did buy everyone some candy. Graham was awake the whole ride to Hot Springs and most of Walmart. We picked Robby up and headed the wrong way to our hotel since we had left the GPS at home. It was no big deal because we ended up at McClards which is where we were going to eat supper anyway. We had an early supper of tamales, bbq sandwiches, fries and grilled cheese for the kids. After supper Reagan asked "If this is Hot Springs, why is it so cold here?" We found our hotel, Staybridge Suites and checked in. The hotel is very nice and the pool was fairly warm. Reagan and Anderson could not wait to get in the pool and they both wanted to wear their "armies" in the pool. Graham enjoyed the pool so much also. By the end of the evening he was leaning down to drink the water. After swimming for a long time we came up to shower everyone off. We then took a walk around the hotel while drying our swimsuits and called it a nigth soon after.
