Laundry and a Hoe Down, Eureka Springs


The title pretty much tells it all.  The campground only had 2 washers so laundry took most of the day to complete.  Dave did most of the laundry while me and the boys did a major clean-up in the RV.  After all our hard work we decided to reward ourselves with the Ozark Mountain Hoe-Down.  We have been trying to get more exercise in so we decide to walk the 2 miles to the theater.  We stopped at a Sonic-type burger place for dinner (good thing we were walking... I guess that just canceled out the exercise thing.  But... it was thee only place to eat on the way.  Well, I guess we could have walked a little farther and found something healthy, but that would have required more excercise!)  We then arrived at the theater early.  The show was very entertaining and quite funny.  All three boys really enjoyed the night although they didn't know most of the songs, most of which were country.  One of the main characters and part owner of the theater "P-Nutt" (who was very funny) used a funky hat in his skit.  They sold the hat in the gift area.  The boys decided to combine some of their allowance and buy one hat for the three of them to share.  Well P-Nutt heard they were using their own money and gave them 3 hats for the price of one!  They were so excited and have been playing with their hats ever since.  

Thought of the day:  There are a ton of really great people everywhere you go, but you usually don't know it because you don't take the time to meet them.  It's amazing how easily a conversation gets going when we take the time to start one.  We're doing more of that on this trip and the information and generosity we have received from these new friends has been such a blessing to us.
