Down to the River

On Saturday we drove down to the Caddo River, which is southwest of Hot Springs. The Bentonville Tates: Uncle Stewart, Aunt Natalie and Cousins Trey and Ashton, were RVing there for the weekend. Jack had been spending the week in Hope with Nana and Pops, so they, along with Drew, who is an honorary cousin, met us there. We spent the day tubing, splashing in the river, eating, fishing, and playing paintball. William discovered grass and absolutely loved swimming in the river. He played in his tube for about an hour.

First things first: having a bottle with Nana and Aunt Natalie

We had a great time!
