Mountain View, AR

We spent the weekend in Mountain View, AR for Mother's Day. It is about 1.5 hours from Searcy. We left Saturday morning and rented a cabin by the creek. We had so much fun, the boys are asking to back this summer.

This is our cabin.


The boys skipping rocks before they decided to go for a swim.


We also went canoeing.

Mountain View has an Ozark Folk Center where you learn about things from the 'old days'. Believe it or not, the boys were very interested in this stuff.

This lady was making yarn.

The Gunsmith Shop.

Pottery Making.

These were only a few. They also had corn shuck doll making, knife shop, soap making, blacksmithing, copper flame painting and others.

We also took the boys to an old country store. We bought bottle cokes and peanuts. Just like the 'good ole days'.



Look closely at the bottom arrow of this sign. It says Olla 309 miles. For those of you that do not know, this as a VERY small town about 15 miles from our hometown of Jena. Heath and I were very surprised to see that arrow!




I have MANY more pictures to post about our weekend but I'm running out of time so I'll be back later! :)
