The day after visiting Laura's home, we drove back to my mom's house in Conway. But on the way, we drove over to Mountain View, Arkansas, to the Ozark Craft Village. There was hardly anyone there, and I loved it! For those of you who've been to Silver Dollar City or Dollywood, it was like that without the rides. Lots of craft demonstrations and living history demonstrations. My kids were the only kids I saw, and there was a cabin with a garden and a schoolhouse and schoolyard that they got to play in as much and as long as they wanted! A woodworker taught them how to throw a real old-fashioned top (well, Mikayla figured it out, anyway). And there was a Christmas carol scavenger hunt, and an elf from the North Pole was hiding in the park for them to find. It was a lot of fun.

| Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mikayla drew the teacher. |
