Beaver Creek Cabin

The Bean family vacation- Griswald style. Compton, Arkansas. Weekend at the spa...
Friday morning, we went to go canoeing and fishing on the Buffalo River. River was too low so we skipped some rocks and went swimmin' in the crawdad hole. Avery was so brave!
Zane wanted to fish, so we took the hook off and let him practice. After playing a nice round of pictionary and yummy hotdogs around the fire pit, we walked to the owner's other cabin with an "awesome view half-mile round the corner." He failed to mention the entire way you are going up and down, up and down STEEP hills. I think you would need 4wheel drive to get there. Here we are leaving...
It was a pretty nice view. This picture doesn't capture it at all...but oh man the walk back...
We celebrated that accomplishment by eating smore's! I like my chocolate melted...We ended the night playing Zac's Wii.
Saturday morning, we drove quite a ways to see a garage sale and then further away to see a 5 people selling their leftover produce (Don't ask!!). Went back to eat lunch and then the most photographed rock in Arkansas. We went the long way and added 30+ mins to our trip up there. Then we got lost going through the forest and asked this guy in the red truck to help us. He accidentally took us to the wrong place, but found two walkers who were also lost!
He got us there, and after a 3 mile hike up and down hills, ducking and climbing over trees, we made it to the rock! Here is one side view...Here is my crazy brother in law from the other side.Ended the night by interviewing my grandparents and then playing Imagine If and watching some comedy DVD's The Griswalds getting ready to leave...
Can't wait to see what next year will bring...
