Buffalo River

We met up with my parents to hike the Lost Valley Trail on the Buffalo National River.


Eden Falls

taking a snack break on the trail

After our hike we drove over to Steel Creek to check out the river.
Ben had so much fun being in his little world throwing rocks and wading in the river.






This picutre is back at Lost Valley on the trail. Ben loved having his own walking stick. He did great on the trail!
Jude loving the big open space at Steel Creek.

At Eden Falls cave at Lost Valley. We didn't go far in the cave because of the water.

Snowklahoma!

Winter Wonderland
looking out our side door









that would be 21inches and it's still snowing

















Ben sitting on top of his picnic table.

trekking to the front



going to check on the neighbors--ben has an icicle for a sword


the snow is past my knees

usually the ditch is full of water, not snow!
ben is eating the icicle










a pretty cool half pipe if you're a bug....
11:30am and it's still snowing.....


What's crazy about all of this is that starting Sunday the forecast calls for upper 50s and even low 60s for next week. Global warming? hmmm
