We went to Eureka Springs Arkansas over Labor Day weekend to visit a Calvary Chapel there. We were blessed by members of the body there who allowed us to stay in their guest house right across the street from the church. The house was so nice and peaceful and had an amazing view looking out over the hills (My view was rudely interrupted one afternoon by looking down to see a huge tarantula crawling up the steps. Gross.). We had a restful and encouraging weekend just spending time together as a family and enjoying fellowship with Pastor Jason, his wife Cindy and their daughters Kindred and Emma, as well as with Keith and Watty (owners of the house we stayed at) and the rest of the body at CC Eureka Springs. Tony shared on Sunday morning and there were 6 kids and 1 missionary sponsored! Pray for the church there, it is a very difficult area to minister in.
Ava had a good time exploring the town with us. She especially enjoyed the blueberry pancakes at the Mud St. Cafe. I need to start ordering for two, she's always eating more than her fair share of my food! She didn't seem to enjoy the 8 hours (with stops) of driving though. She is a girl on the move now and prefers not to be sitting for too long. Below are two video clips, the first one taken outside our house just before we hit the road and the second on our drive back at a McDonald's play area.
By the way she had her 15 month check up today and all is still well. She remains in the 90th percentile for height and just under the 75th for weight. She's not as cooperative as she used to be and I think she's over her crush on Dr. P. Her visits with him always end in shots. :o(
