We had some great weather (in between thunderstorms) in Missouri and were able to spend an entire day out on the lake!!! It was so nice...the weather, the scenery, the company...Olivia was such a trooper...She loved it...didn't even fight having to wear her life jacket. She enjoyed swimming in the lake with mama and dada as well...What a big girl!!!!

It's a good thing that there are plenty of watchful eyes at Grandma and Grandpa Light's house...Olivia LOVED this style of doorknobs!!! She can ALMOST open the doors herself!!!! (SCARY)!!!!

Brad and Stacy's Night out in Earika Springs...

Eureka Springs, is usually quite the hopping little town...apparently not the night we went...I think it was a Thursday (I can't remember now)...the streets were dead...Nonetheless we had a nice night...strolled through the streets (which we had to ourselves) , window shopped in the closed stores and even popped into a local bar for a drink (we were 2 of 4 people, one of those being the bartender)...
Anyway, It was a nice evening out for mama and dada :)

Swings at the campground...MORE fun MO....

What a nice sissy...giving her a push on the swing!!!
Grandpa, Olivia and dada...Going for a walk!!!
...MORE SWINGS!!!!
Where's grandma???? Boooo...she had to work and missed out on this fun!!!!

...AND even more fun in MO...FIREWORKS

Nightly FIREWORK displays CHEZ Grandma and Grandpa Light!!!! They started off small...a few tiny firecrackers...sprinklers, bottle rockets...then each night after had to outdo the previous...Brad and dad made daily trips to the Firework tent to see what they could get that was bigger and better than the last night. By the grand finale, one would have though we were putting on a commercial firework display....

Olivia doesn't know what she missed. During these displays she was cozy in her room (aka the bunker) have sweet dreams of sugarplum fairies?!?!?
