A week with the Buttles

We drove home from Washington DC to Georgia where we stayed 3 days before driving out to Arkansas to see the Buttle family. We had a blast with them swimming, jumping and eating ice cream! We went to their awesome community center where they had an awesome splash area with water slides. AJ had SO much fun on the water slides!
And the kids all loved playing "crack the egg" and   "emperor style add on" (a game we made up at our last visit).
And the ice cream! The ice cream! First, we had date night- dinner, mini golf and ended it with "the super center sundae" at the Spark Cafe. It was supposed to be 16 scoops of ice cream in a gigantic bowl but they told us that they couldn't find the bowl. We were so disappointed until we remembered that we were in Bentonville Arkansas and there is a Walmart around every corner. There was one a block away so we walked down there, bought an $.88 serving bowl and took it back. They added extra scoops because they felt bad for disappointing us! It was great!
The other ice cream we had was at a gas station 30 minutes from Bentonville. We had giant soft serve cones there! I mean giant. The kids had the Pee-wee size and Katie, David and I all ordered the small.
We had another great and relaxing vacation and played a lot of games (unfortunately, Tyler won most of them).
Thanks Buttle family for letting us call your home, ours.
