This week Tyrone and I had a visit from my mother, and the french foreign exchange student, Mathilde, that my parents housed 7 years ago. Mathilde also brought her parents along. They are on a 3 week vacation of the mid-west, starting in Lincoln, with a detour to the Arkansas/Tennessee area, and then finishing up in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

We visited the Clinton Library and the Arkansas River playground area and river market.

We also went to Graceland. Little did we know it was “Elvis Week” and the place was packed!

We also made it down to Beale Street.

The next day we took a tour of the Conway area, visiting a peach orchard and Lake Conway.

The highlight of the entire trip was meeting JR of www.jrenterprises.com.

He was spraying alligator weed on Lake Conway, and brought in his air boat. He asked if any of the ladies wanted a ride. The men were the ones who really wanted a ride though. Pascal and Tyrone both went out on the lake with JR.

Here are some other pictures you can click through.
