Bain Family Gathering - Degray State Park

In late June, Chad and I loaded up the kids for our first real road trip. My side of the family was gathering for some summer fun together. I have to admit, I was a little nervous. We headed to Degray State Park - near Hot Springs, Arkansas. I was pretty sure that Charlie would do okay in the car, but Emmy was a whole different story. She isn't always happy to sit and ride. Boy was I wrong! Both kids did great in the car, and the whole vacation was a WONDERFUL week of fun and family!

All the kids scope out the view, and where all the fun was to be had!


Charlie reluctantly rode his first horse. I don't think cowboy is in our future!


Emmy loved that snacks were always available down by the lake!


First boat ride!


We all had a great time, and can't wait for next year!

Michele from New Jersey

We were so excited to welcome Chad's friend from Seton Hall to Houston this summer. We had a great time showing her all of our favorite places. The kids LOVED her and she was so great with them!
