Eureka Springs

Britney and I took Samir and Bryleigh to explore Eureka Springs this past weekend. What a cute little town! It has been forever since I've been there, so it was all pretty new to me too. We started with lunch at a sandwich and ice cream shop.
We ate outside because the weather was so beautiful. It also gave the kiddos a chance to run around and stretch their legs. Here they are chasing after butterflies.






Next we took a trolley ride around historic Eureka Springs. We saw a lot of cute older buildings all fixed up.












After the trolley ride, we took the opportunity to further explore some things we saw.






Then we headed off to Turpentine Creek Wildlife Refuge. There they have all kinds of wild animals, but mostly tigers. You can get pretty close to them, so that was really fun. It was also neat to hear the stories on some of them. They are all rescued animals and I was really surprised by how many were from homes were people had them as pets!







Deep in thought :)
