Today we left from Islip to little rock Arkansas via Atlanta Georgia. I have mixed feelings about flying. On one hand it’s fast and kinda cool to be in a plane on the other it’s cramped and restrictive and sucks. My youngest turned into a child Ladyfingers and I have never seen. She was tired and a tad frightened even though she has flown before. This sweet little child was arching back and screaming and
swinging oh man it was crazy. And the plane could not have been smaller so everyone just watched and waited and about a half hour is she chilled out and a half hour after that passed out for the rest of the flight. We landed in Atlanta for a two hour layover and then off to Arkansas where we rented a mini van and drove 90 minutes to DeGray lake resort national forest. Lake Degray was created by the Army Corp. of Engineers and is the largest man made lake. Ladyfingers’ family is scattered allover the country and this was a great central meeting place with a good amount of stuff to do and explore. But it was dinner time and we were all starving and tired. So the entire clan of about 40 took over the resort restaurant and ate commiserated and called it a night. |
