Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)Hotel Dennie had wonderful accommodations for us last night and we all slept very well-except for Graham needing a few bottles and Anderson rolling all over the floor! Once while Graham was crying, Reagan woke up and said "I thought we were in the car because it sounded like it." Graham must have cried quite a bit in the car for her to say that!
After breakfast, we attempted a kid group picture-we didn't have too much luck! But it was entertaining. Since we didn't want our vacation to end to early, we had one more stop in mind. Tara had never been to Graceland so that is where we headed. The crowds weren't bad so we didn't have to wait long for our bus ride across the street. Anderson and Reagan were so excited about getting to ride the bus. We toured the house and the rest of the complex. We were able to catch a glimpse of Priscilla giving the stable tour (this was the first day of the stable tours).
The highlight of the visit was looking up and seeing Anderson standing on Elvis' grave-yep, he snuck through the fence trying to put his hand in the water fountain and ended up in the Presley family graveyard. His sister was right behind him! Anderson saw the pool and said "No swim today, Elvis swim today." Reagan and Anderson loved seeing Elvis' planes-that was a big hit. Graham slept through the planes and most of the way home. Reagan was so excited to see that Elvis had a pink and a purple car.
We had thought about going to the zoo but the weather was warm and we decided that we could save that for another trip. We got on the road and made it to Lonoke before everyone woke up from their naps. After some McDonald's ice cream we were back on the road and home be mid-afternoon. We are unpacked and up to our ears in laundry.
Reagan is sleeping with her door shut tonight, Graham is not going to get a bottle tonight and Anderson has fallen asleep without his paci (it just took a few more hours, bribes of lollipops, extra cups of milk and lots of trucks to sleep with)
