{ Hot Springs Vacay - 2011 }

I'm just getting around to blogging about it (just 6 months late!), but we spent a week in Hot Springs, AR in July and had a ball!  We stayed in a condo on Lake Hamilton, which was beautiful.  It was on a quiet side of the lake, so we had lots of peace and quiet at night, but we were still close to all the action. Isn't this a pretty view?

When we got into town we were ready to see the sights, so we hopped on a duck.  The kids loved that this vehicle could go straight from the street into the water.

 We had a crazy tour guide that made it lots of fun too! 

The next day we spent some time sight seeing and shopping downtown.

The streets are so pretty.

I also love the bath houses.  The Buckstaff is my favorite...I'm a big fan of these striped awnings!

Playing in the warm water

 People were filling up jugs with the water...we just played in it!

One morning we spent some time at an alligator farm.  They had other fun animals to feed and pet too!  They liked the goats.

Here's the baby alligator!

We also stopped at a train shop, which Harrison loved!

This village was made totally out of junk....toothpicks, aluminum cans, etc.  It was really detailed and very interesting!

The girls were even entertained!

There's more fun to come...I'll finish up with the details of our vacation soon.  Our favorite part will be next...tubing on Lake Ouachita!  FUN!
