Go Jackets!!

This past Friday, Kirk, McCoy, and I met my parents in Little Rock for a fun overnight getaway! The main reason we were there was to watch my cousin, Morgan, play in one of his last football games. He plays for Sheridan and he's a senior this year, so we wanted to make sure we saw at least one of his games. They played JA Fair, so it worked out perfectly for us to make it a fun mini trip! Oh, and the Jackets won...added bonus!! I wasn't able to get a whole lot of pics of the game because we left a little early. We were so not prepared for the VERY COLD temps!!!

Morgan's side view...he's #44

Cissy (my other cousin) is on yearbook, so McCoy was helping her out and making sure she got all the right shots!!!

We hated to leave early but were so glad we got a chance to visit with my cousins and Aunt! Love yall!

So this might not make any sense to those of you who aren't complete TCBY obsessed fans....BUT if I am in a town where they have one I must go!!! Even though we left the game early because we were FREEZING it was a must that we stop by TCBY and get some white chocolate mousse even though my teeth were still chattering...

and it was totally worth it!! If I hadn't been so full from dinner, there would've been some Reese's cups involved!!

The next morning we took our time getting up and then, went to the zoo. We got there just in time for a little "show" that was fun but also a little scary.

Waiting for the show

We had no idea what to expect from the show, but it was very entertaining. They brought out lots of HUGE birds and had them flying back and forth over our heads...really closely! We had to duck several times and one bird's wing swiped Dad's head!!

A big bird...can't remember what it's called, but it was really close to my head at one point!

After the show, we went to check out some of the animals.

Monkeys are always a favorite!

Group pic with "Martha" and "Ellen" in the background...those are their real names.

Giraffe photo op, but the giraffe disappeared behind Kirk's head as soon as I took this pic!

McCoy also really started to like the head cut-out deals (what are they called??). Everytime we saw one, it was time for a pic! I love how he sticks his head all the way out of the hole!!

After the zoo, we went to The Purple Cow for a yummy and NOT low-fat lunch!! The Purple Cow is Pop's absolute favorite and I think it might be pretty high on Kirk's list, too! After lunch, it was time to head back home. It was such a fun trip with Pop and Gigi!!!
