Hot Springs (8/1-8/3)

Sitting at dinner on Thursday, 7/31, I mentioned to Rudy that I'd like to go to Hot Springs for the weekend. We scrambled into gear, called Mom and made quick plans for a trip south. On Friday, Caleb and I picked up Rudy in Fayetteville and headed for Hot Springs. After stopping in Ft. Smith to drop off Dewey at Jan's, we pulled into Mom's driveway at 5:15. By 5:30, Rudy had the car unloaded and was on his way to Fordyce to help the other guys working at deer camp. Caleb, Mom and I had a great weekend. We went to dinner at KJ's, then went out to visit with Pepapa and Anna Joyce. On Saturday, we went over to see Jimmy and Kim at their new condo. Caleb loved the fact that it was empty because it echoed. He made all kinds of noise in there. I finally had to take him outside in the 100 degree heat - he was making everyone crazy! After we left there, we grabbed lunch at McAlister's and then headed home for Caleb's nap. Later that evening, we went over and swam at Aunt Harolyn's house even though they weren't home. Sunday morning, the boys came home and we hung out at the house until it was time to hit the road for home. We stopped briefly in Ft. Smith to pick up Dewey and say hi to Jan and then headed for the house. We were all exhausted, but it was a really fun weekend.
