Conway Trip

Amelie and I (this is Sam writing) went to visit my family in Conway, Arkansas last weekend. It took about seven hours to get down there (including stops), and Amelie did better in the car than I had any right to hope for.

Amelie and cousin Mary had fun at my grandparent's pond. Can you believe that Mary was the flower girl at our wedding?

 Cousins Amy, Mary, and Christine pose with Amelie and her new best friend "Baby Phoebe dog."

One of my dad's friends was featured in the Conway newspaper for building a rock wall at his house. We went out to see this wall (which is apparently nearly 800 feet long) one of the days there. Amelie really wanted to run on top of it, but that probably wouldn't have been a good idea.

Another day, we went to go see Aunt Anne at story time at the library. Here is Amelie reading with cousin Amy afterward.

Amelie did a lot of reading in Arkansas. Here she is with Aunt Anne.

 Can you believe Nanny can hold Amelie standing up like this? 

Amelie also enjoyed seeing her Great-Grandpa Neal. After a week being back in Missouri, Amelie is still talking about "Ar-ka-saw!"
