We showed them Entergy Park at Lake Catherine and of course, Grace got to play on the playground and throw rocks in the lake. We also visited the Hot Springs Mountain Tower. This is a tourist attraction around here and we had been thinking about going but just hadn't yet. It is a HUGE tower that looks out over the city. Grace was super excited about it because she felt like she was Rapunzel :) We also showed Papa the campgrounds at Lake Catherine and Lake Ouachita and we got to get out and see the Three Sister Springs. This is a spot where these 3 natural springs come up from the ground and you can feel the water. The Springs were said to heal you from all these different diseases as well as prevent you from getting all kinds of sicknesses. Many years ago people really lived by that. What's funny is now it tells you it will do all these things (heal/ prevent diseases) and then it says "This water is not approved for drinking". It's just a neat little spot. Unlike the hot springs in the city, these springs are cold.
We also enjoyed some ice cream at Holy Cow creamery and cooked out a couple of times and the city even had a firework show over Lake Hamilton on Sunday night before Labor Day that we all got to go see. This is Grace's first real experience with fireworks. She did good and was pretending to reach out to touch them.. See picture :)
