It's officially summertime and the girls are officially out of school (Abigail is at least). Abigail begged us to do something different for summer program this year so we are going to send them to stay at Samuel's house with him and Grandma for three weeks!!!! We are going to miss them so much, but when we dropped them off this morning they quickly shooed us out of there. It looks like they are ready for a break from mom & dad. Too bad we can't say the same! 
We celebrated Memorial Day by visiting Papa's grave at the National Cemetery. We then walked down Garrison Avenue to see the catastrophic flooding downtown. It's the worst flood since 1946 and has completely shutdown all of the bridges out of Fort Smith. We are stuck! At least through the end of Tuesday. It was odd walking along the Garrison Bridge and it probably will never happen again. Many of our friends have been affected by the flooding and now it's a just a wait and watch game to see how long it takes for the flood waters to recede.
We worked out in the garden this weekend and as usual the girls helped out. They were having so much fun and even more so when they found a turtle! They wanted to bring him inside as a new pet, but we explained, it would be much happier outside!
