Spring Break in Arkansas

One of the benefits of homeschooling is that you get to pick your own week for Spring Break. I thought I was being smart by taking it the week before the rest of the state breaks. I came to find out that everyone in the surrounding states took this week off, however... and that means all the parks in Arkansas are full of out-of-state guests (like ours). I guess sometimes you can't get everything you want. Our trips around the towns here have been nice, though. Hardly any crowds to speak of. We have been having a lot of fun with our buddies from Texas. Here are a few of our photos from the past few days:

amazingly pretty little star-shaped wildflowers in the woods

As you can see, I'm too busy to blog. I do plan to get back to my regular blog routine as soon as I can, though. Like I said in this post, I have standardized testing next week for the children... so expect delays in here! Today we are off to go camping (despite the fact that there may be some rain).
