Visiting Jeff & Rochelle's Family in Arkansas - Part 1

We enjoyed our visit with Jeff & Rochelle's family in Arkansas. Rebecca, Isaac, and Mason went with us and had a fun time with their cousins.  We flew on Frontier from Salt Lake City on Wednesday, November 29th.  After having a fun Saturday, our return flight got us home in time for a short night's sleep before going to our 9:00 church Sunday morning.

Here are some memories to share from photos taken:

A warm greeting and happy hugs. 

Feeling the love with Chance and Ella.

Grampa Sam getting a nice hug from Ella.


And hugs from all of the family.

But the children were in for a big surprise!
They didn't know Rebecca, Isaac, and Mason were coming with us.

Kate's happy surprise to see Rebecca.

And Miles is overjoyed.



Here are some photos taken during our visit.

They have acreage for some nice walks and fun activities.
It was a little cool but a nice walk around their property on Friday, December 1.

Their house is in the background by the trees.
We walked around the hayfield where Jeff had mowed a path.

Fun on the hay bales 

Jeff & Rochelle own the property where the hay was cut.

On Thursday, November 30th, we visited the Scott Family Amazeum in Bentonville where Austin has a part-time job during his senior year.

The Amazeum features approximately 50,000 square feet of exhibit and learning spaces inside the museum.

"Everything is hands-on and designed to be touched, climbed on, and interacted with.  Exhibits are designed to engage the imagination and to bring art and science to life."
