Amy and Luke are off for Spring Break this year, and I was able to take vacation for the week. We are trying to stay busy and do things close to home. Saturday I went fishing all day, and then Sunday we all went to Amy's grandmother's house. It is only a few miles from Shady Lake, so we made a trip over there.

Fishing in the creek below the dam:
The tallest peak in the area, "Tall Peak", has an old CCC fire tower at the top. Normally the gate is locked so we were prepared to make the hike, but they had graded the road recently and the gate was open, so we were able to drive right up. It is one of the highest points in Arkansas with an elevation of over 2300 feet. The views up here were great; we could see Shady Lake and Amy's grandparent's farm.
There was a geocache about half way down that I stepped on. Couldn't find it for a while, but I stepped on a stick and hit the ammo can and made a thunk.
We stopped back at Shady Lake and played on the playground. I had to show Luke that I still knew how to swing.
After the Shady Lake/Tall Peak trip, we went back to Amy's grandparent's farm and took a ride to look at all the newborn calves. Avery loved this part, and waved at them the whole time. Luke is wanting to buy a calf from them to take home.
