Yesterday, we spent most of the day in the beautiful state of
Arkansas. Anna's ancestors homesteaded there and her uncle, aunt and family still live in the area. Uncle Utah and aunt Mona were so gracious to host us at their farm. You know how they say the country is quiet? Well it is until you go outside in the evening and hear all the bugs. Wow! I even recorded the sound for your enjoyment (to be uploaded later.) I was able to go visit the cows while Utah fed them and in the meantime, saw a black snake and a red fox cub. So cool. I want a farm.
After leaving the relatives, we went down the street to the homestead where Beaver Jim Villines, one of Anna's ancestors homesteaded. There is still a structure there from the 1800's and a plaque telling the story. I was so happy for Anna to be able to see this.
The remainder of the day was spent weaving through NE Arkansas and visiting the cute mountain town of Eureka Sprimgs. Then off west into Oklahoma for the night. Today, Texas.
