MISSIONMISSOURI: DAYS THREE - SIX

From Clinton, Oklahoma to Van Buren, Arkansas - 289.70 miles

Weather Watch
Blue skies, smilin' at me! That's what we saw most of the day Tuesday. It was absolutely gorgeous driving weather and we were thrilled to have the shortest leg yet of our journey. We pulled into Husband's sister's house in the early afternoon, just in time to attend Niece's choir performance.

Entertainment Encounters
The choir performance was interesting to say the least. Niece's group was missing half their members and this was their first performance as such a small group. Needless to say, their harmonies were lacking a bit. After a v ery brief concert, we were headed to dinner. (Note - If you are ever hungry for Mexican food in Van Buren, Arkansas, think again.)

Thursday evening Husband's family surprised us all with a birthday party for Husband's 25th birthday. We had a nice time, fellowshipping over cake and ice cream and playing one of the new games he received for a gift. It's called Times Seven and seems to be a neat Scripture memorization game (for the seven verses used in the game anyway).

So, we are still here in Van Buren, thinking about leaving in the next day or two, after spending a little time with Niece and Nephew (who have had to go to school, do homework and go to bed early since we arrived on Tuesday). We will update y'all later.
