Pregnant mama needed something to eat, right now, on the way to Arkansas. In true form, Chad found an out of the way BBQ place that was really good!
We left Texas later than expected and ended up not getting to our destination til 9pm or so. We decided to spend the night in a cabin instead of trying to find a site and set up our tent in the dark. We stayed at the MacIntosh cabin at Silver Lake Cabins. Nice, cozy place. I AM pregnant, and Chad DID have pneumonia.
Lane and I took a short hike, from which I had to CARRY him back, but it was nice to go for a walk in the woods.
Me and Lane in front of an abandoned mine shaft in the mining ghost town of Rusk, near the Buffalo River.
Lane is certainly showing promise as a photographer. Nice job, sweety!

Unexpected visitor kept us on our toes.
Cozy.

Chad and his knack for finding unique restaurants. I think this was Fort Smith, Arkansas. Inside Lane rode a Razorback for 25 cents. Was kinda hard to stomach as a Longhorn :)!
After camping two nights in Arkansas, we got to Beavers Bend State Park in Oklahoma after dark, again. So we opted to stay in their 'lodge' on the lake. It was a motel with a very nice view of the lake. We considered camping another night, but ended up coming home and getting some much needed rest. I am determined to camp at Beavers Bend State Park one day! It's such a nice, scenic, family friendly place.
