Memorial Day at Crowley's Ridge, AR






For Memorial Day we went to Crowley's Ridge, about an hour away. A few families we know joined us at the small lake where they have a swimming area, fishing, paddle boats, camping and picnicking. We waited out a rain storm and then had a beautiful day picnicking and swimming. The highlight was watching the swimmers freak out when some snakes were discovered in the water. The rumors were flying around at first it was one poisonous cotton tail snake and then it was up to six. When the park ranger removed them she announced to every one that they were not poisonous, they were yellow bellied water snakes and there were only three. It was funny.


Thanks to the Rich and Davis families, we had a great time.

That looks like my kind of fun.. I love the water. I have been sort of swimming, and hottubbing. It's almost hot enough for swimming, but not quite.
I'm glad you guys had a good time on memorial day, and with your family and the others.
I love and miss you all.. and I hope I get to see you in July..
