Eureka Springs

About an hour away from where we live is this awesome town called Eureka Springs! Its so beautiful. Except the weekend we went there was an event called "Bikers, Blues, & Barbecue" so there were soooooo many motorcycles everywhere! Ughhh it was so hard to get anywhere. The first time I came to Arkansas about 2 years ago my brother took my mom and I here and I fell in love!
As we got there I had to use the bathroom so we found the quickest place we could and we were so lost and in some random neighborhood and I had been telling Trevor about these really old hotels that are supposedly "haunted" and we accidentally drove right to the biggest one! So we roamed around the hotel and below this hotel is this Catholic church so we went and roamed around that also.
There are trolleys running the streets showing cool places around Eureka Springs and when we left the hotel we went down this random street and it was just a quiet little neighborhood and we saw a trolley parked so we stopped to see what they were looking at as they were leaving. It was this wall of ivy hanging down and a deep staircase and a small little cave! It was so incredibly beautiful outside of the cave and down inside the cave it was so cold! It was actually really creepy. Inside in the very back was a candle and a little statue. It was freaky.
After exploring we got a bite to eat and headed to "Christ of the Ozarks". It's a huge Christus. The first time I saw it was 2 years ago when I first came and we were driving and I saw a HUGE statue of Christ off in the distance in between the trees and I was like "What the heck was that!?" So we went and checked it out! It felt like we were in Brazil! Its big but not as big as Brazil's. It was so fun exploring except for all the bikers!

Exploring Kansas City!


So.. we moved from Kansas City! We moved to Springdale, Arkansas (our apartment is literally 3 minutes away from my brother's house!). It's super exciting! We are staying with my brother and his family until our apartment is ready! Its been super fun!
Before we left we took a day to explore the city and go to the places that we missed out on while we lived there. We started by going to this restaurant called "Kansas City Joe's Barbecue" It was on "Man vs. Food"! It was reeeeally good however I got super sick after. We had to wait in a line that was going clear out past the doors. It's that popular. Then we to this art museum. We actually just stayed outside of it which was amazing itself. There were sooo many wedding parties getting their pictures taken! There were also sooo many fun things to look at! There was this glass maze! Its so much harder than it sounds! Poor Emma was so confused and didnt enjoy it as much as Trevor and I. By the end everyone single kid that went inside came out crying from hitting their heads! It was quite hilarious! After that we went to this amazing shopping outlet. The best way I can describe it is a neighborhood of stores. There were some high end stores that I clearly stayed away from but man it was awesome! It really was such a fun day exploring the city! Also Emma peed through her diaper at the beginning of the day and I totally forgot an extra outfit so that's why she's in just a diaper in these photos!



Parkville Days


I don't know why I always take pictures of just Emma's head!? It cracks me up!

Trevor and I went to Parkville Days to help out our friend Charity who had a booth up for her massage business (legacymassage.com ! I designed her logo,website.. it doesn't look that great.. yet! And business cards and pretty much everything else! It's pretty fun!). On our way we happened upon Hogwarts an awesome college! I was seriously in love! I mean their library was in the ground like a Hobbit hole! A school that looks like it could be from the books Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings? Where do I apply!? It was pretty cool! Then we went to the event and hung out and tried to book people for a massage!
