If you folks have been wondering where I disappeared to...well it was a little bit of everywhere!  We drove 16 hours to my home state of Mississippi and the 16 hours back home to Nebraska! 

We had full intentions on taking a regular family vacation but sporadically decided to do things a little different this year.  We decided to stop at a few places on our drive and let our little ones run loose and explore the world around them!

These photos were taken in Mammoth Springs, Arkansas!  I had no idea water could be so beautiful just from a natural spring!  You usually see water this color in some tropical area but this stunning body of water we drive by twice and year and never even realized it!
