Day 1 - Bella Vista



We planned to leave at 3:00 today to head to Bella Vista. In our normal fashion we ended up leaving about 3:45. Oh well, it still worked out fine. Donnie, Kevan, Bryce and myself headed down from Wichita, Brent was coming from KC and Phyllis and Greg were coming from the Shocker game in Springfield and we were all trying to meet for an 8:00 dinner reservation. Brent was scheduled to arrive at our vacation house about 2 hours before everyone else. But, it was his first time to Bella Vista and Lola (his GPS) was confused so it took him and extra hour of driving around the winding roads of Bella Vista to find the house. We arrived shortly after changed clothes and headed to River something for dinner (none of us can seem to remember the name, but it was fantastic!). I have to say that this was one of the best meals I have ever had. I had pistachio encrusted Halibut and it was fabulous. I tried a little something from every plate on the table and it was all superb. Several bottle of wine were consumed and we headed home for a little wine and deck time.



Day 1 - Mav with Mamaw and Papa

Mav, Papa and Mamaw headed out to Kingman tonight. Dad played in the men's scramble and Cinda, Mav and Mamaw headed to the park. From what I understand, they had a great time swinging, playing in the sand and going down the big slide. They even treated him to McDonald's and the 1st of many Shrek toys to come! They stayed the night with Cinda and Steve tonight and they have a big morning of Tractor Driving in the morning. Mav is in heaven on the farm.
