Here is a little recap of our fourth of July weekend...
Friday we headed to Tulsa just for the evening. It was my brothers 16th birthday, so went all went over to my grandparents and celebrated! We drove back to b'vill that night and we got in really late and went straight to bed. Mitch had to work Saturday and I got up early and cleaned the house. I don't know why but, I love getting up early and cleaning...
My good friend Summer was coming into town for the weekend and she get here around 11 on Saturday morning. We spend the morning at the farmers market and I got some gorgeous flowers! I just love getting fresh flowers from the farmers market.. they are always so unique and sooo pretty! I forgot to take a picture, but they were bright colors and it made a perfect centerpiece for my kitchen table.
After the market, we went to lunch with Michelle and her cousin. We went to the Crumpet Tea Room and it was so good. Michelle had been there before, and ever since I went to that tea room in OK, I have become obsessed. I am sure we will be going back there a lot! It was so good and they had the best orange rolls for dessert!
We then headed to the mall! We walked around and did some shopping for the rest of the day. We were tired and hot by about 4:00 so we came home and relaxed before we had to start dinner.
We had more friends coming in town that evening and we were cooking a big dinner for everyone! Peter Scotty and Libby got there around 7 and we had chicken spaghetti, salad and rolls for dinner!
After dinner, we went to the Wal-Mart visitors center. Summer, Peter and Scott had all been there before, but Libby had never seen it and they just remodeled it and it looks very different. They have a huge museum and a cafe. I had been through the old one several times, but the new one is so nice!
After that, we walked up to the Crystal Bridges lookout area. By the time we got up there it was pretty dark, but it pretty much finished and was really cool to see!
We headed back to our house to roast s'mores and Peter shot off fireworks in our backyard.. I am sure our neighbors love that.. ha!
Saturday, we got up early and went and hiked Lake Fayetteville. Mitch and I both have really been into hiking and we had never been around the lake. It was a 6 mile hike and it was about 95 degrees, but worth it! We had so much fun and the views were really pretty! I am def. going to miss how beautiful AR is and all he good hiking when we move :(
This picture is really dark, but it was the best we could get...
We had lunch at Tropical Smoothie Cafe and then Peter, Scott and Libby had to head back to Tulsa.
That night, Mitch, Summer, Caleb and I went to the Naturals baseball game.
It was a good game and they had a fireworks show after the game! I love watching fireworks! We spend the rest of the night hanging out at Caleb's house.
Monday morning, Summer and I got up early and went walking on a trail across town, but we were only out there for about 30 min and we got stormed on .. ha!
That afternoon, we met Michelle at On the Border and had lunch. Summer and Michelle left after lunch.. I hated say by to both of them :(
The golf club that we are members of had a cookout, so we spend the afternoon at the pool and got free ice cream and apple pie! :)
The Bentonville fireworks were that night, we around 7 we headed up to Orchards Park and it was PACKED!! I could not believe it was 2 1/2 hours before the show an that many people were out there.
We finally got parked (quickly realized we should have walked) and found a place to set our blanket and chairs. There was a band playing and vendors all around. It was so much fun and we met up with Caleb and walked around before the show.
The fireworks were amazing and ended a little after 10. By the time we walked all the way back to our car it was about 10:25 and it took us about 30 more min to get out of the parking lot! We only like about 30 seconds from the park, but it took us about 45 min to get home! I have never seen so many cars! But it was well worth it!
That was our weekend.. we had so much fun with all our friends and I wish it didn't have to end.
Mitch is in class all week for ACLS, so he has a little shorter days than usual and I am super busy at work this week.
We are really looking forward to this weekend.. It is the first weekend in along time we do not have anything planned( as of now) and we are planning on relaxing at home and playing lots of golf.
I hope y'all have a great week!
