Siloam Springs and the Grandkids!

Bob and I arrived just after Bobby, Cathy and the grandkids! Boy, have they grown in the last year since we left them in Washington state! 

After many hugs and kisses, it was time to play. Bob and I took Chris and DeAnna to the local playground. They had been traveling for 4 days!

The next day we took them to Natural Falls State Park in Oklahoma. For those of you who aren't familiar with the area, the end of Bob and Dot's street is the Oklahoma state line. Natural Falls is six miles from their house. There is a nice waterfall--even during a drought since the water is now pumped from the pool to the top of the falls. 

It is also the site where the film "Where the Red Fern Grows" was filmed.

 From the waterfall, we hiked down to the lake and threw a few rocks.

After an enjoyable hike to the falls and the lake, it was time to check out the playground.


Chris and DeAnna had a great time.DeAnna likes to hang upside down.

Chris clowned around in the green tube going from one slide to the other.

Bob took a rest under a nearby tree as the kids played.

Did I mention lately that it is hot? Well, most days the thermometer has hit 99 and above and it is too hot to do much outdoors. 


Our next adventure is a trip to Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO.
