Fun times in Arkansas!

Last weekend we made the long (7 hour) trek out to Greers Ferry Lake north of Little Rock Arkansas.  Mr Matt's (Heil) family has a fantastic Lake house up there and we were lucky enough to get invited for the weekend.  The lake is absolutely fantastic, crystal clear clean water surrounded by lush green forests and small mt peaks.  It was sparsely developed with few docks on the lake.  This is truly one of the most spectacular recreational lakes in the entire country.  We were very blessed to have the opportunity to enjoy it!

The lake had all sorts of fun things to do and we did them all.  We did cliff diving, tubing, hiking and feeding the fish.  I'll save the hiking and tubing for Emilie's blog.  Ian was a trooper and totally got into the cliff diving.  If fact, he was super excited about being in the water in general.  The first night we got there we went out for a sunset cruise and he was all up in the water like a champ.  Jumping off the boat like it was nuthin!  We went out to the short cliffs on Saturday AM and Ian jumped off the low cliffs which were about 8 feet tall which is pretty high for a 3 footer!  When we went out to the big cliffs he was awesome there to jumping off the short sections like it was nuthin!  There were a few belly/face flops but he shook em off pretty good.

We went into the marina and they had a fish feeding area on the dock.  It was pretty crazy, there were hundreds of good size carp all snapping their mouths on water trying to get some food.  The more food you through out the more they went crazy.  It was a regular fish frenzy and Ian definitely got a kick out of it!

We had just an awesome time out on the boat and hanging out with Matt, Leah, Liesl, Angie and Isabella.  Such a fun weekend it was worth the 14 hours worth of driving!
