Relatives and Relaxing

Today is a day of rest for the Skinners.  We have been having LOTS of fun with Uncle Ron, running around seeing all the fun places here in the northwest corner of Arkansas, but today we are taking a break and just sitting around the campsite.  We NEED to get out walking and will do that sometime today.  It's kind of embarrassing when your uncle can out-walk you by, oh, about SIX miles!!!!  Uncle Ron walks a total of about seven miles a day (divided up into three walks), but still....he puts me to shame!!!  He has inspired us to get back into the walking routine.

Wednesday was a great day of catching up when he came out to the campground and had lunch with us.  It was so good to see him (although I sure missed having Aunt Sue with him).  Back in June, I lost two of my favorite aunts within just a few days of each other.  We are going to visit with Uncle Earl in Texas in a couple of weeks.  Back to the fun times with Uncle Ron...we just sat around enjoying the time together all afternoon!

I think they were comparing haircuts!!...lol

On Thursday it was time to visit Ron at HIS home in Bella Vista...

Ron was a GREAT tour guide and took us to several places in the area...

Cooper Chapel...beautiful, peaceful place in Bella Vista

Of course you KNOW Max liked this place!

Then, because we are in "Walmart country", you HAVE to visit the Walmart Visitor Center in Bentonville!!  This is where it all started!  This was a fun place...small replica of the Five & Dime and then museum with lots of exhibits that told the story of Walmart & Sam's Club!

Crazy Max had to "do his thing"!!..lol

In between stops, we had a great meal at the Golden Corral...senior lunch is great at this one in Rogers, Arkansas!  Thanks, Uncle Ron, for a wonderful day!

On Friday, Ron came back out to the campground and we rode all around Beaver Lake checking out the other Corps of Engineers Campgrounds for future endeavors!  Silly me forgot to take any pictures though!!

Tomorrow will be a day of worship with Ron at his church, lunch and then goodbye until next time.  What wonderful memories we will take with us!!!
