Jumping Ship for LA (Lower Arkansas)




By Friday (that would be 4 days without electricity) the boys and I had all the "camping" we could stand - so we headed for LA and warmer weather. That morning around 6 am as we all layed shivering in our beds we decided we had enough! Packing consisted of dumping the dirty clothes baskets in the car and grabbing some diapers. Poor Kerry had to stick it out, Breaux's had electricity and he had some Acme stuff to take care of. By the time the boys and I(and CoCo) hit Ft. Smith there were no signs of an ice storm! And Arkadelphia was clear and warm. They boys played outside most of the time and Mom cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for us -- not a bad deal! Kara and boys (and Pam and Richard) came over one afternoon for some playing. By Monday we headed back, still no electricity, but Jayden had school, so we stayed at the lake house until our electricity came back on (Wednesday).

We loved seeing you guys even if it was because you were literally froze out of your own home! Miss you guys and Nate can't wait to see his buddy Jayden again! I laughed at Zac and Kyler... that friendship is going to be love/hate I think (more emphasis on the LOVE)! Miss ya!
