This is Eureka Springs, Arkansas
Neat little place to visit
great shopping, food and other sites
VERY difficult to shop when you have a two year old
who for some reason was VERY grabby that day
thanks goodness for April - the monkey in the park
we always have lunch at this hotel - it is fun to sit outside and enjoy the view across the town
Russ found something for London to do
they had different animals you could stuff
(like Build a Bear)
She wasn't too sure about the stuffing part
Elliot - her new BEST friend
You might recognize him from the movie "Open Season"
He went EVERYwhere with her after that
Christ of the Ozarks
We have stopped here several times
It is quite impressive
London - kept staying "I'm going to see Jesus"
But when we got there she seemed to confused
I think she thought she was going to see a live person
Russ wanted his picture with London
She did not want to take part in this tradition
In trying to get her looking at the camera
I cut Jesus' head off
She kept looking to the back and Russ quickly flipped her around
When it was time to leave - she began crying
I asked what was wrong
She said she didn't get to say goodbye to Jesus
So I had her wave goodbye to him
then she continued to cry as we left
This time she said she wanted to take Jesus home with her
