Medicine Park

Today the weather is absolutely AMAZING ! It had rained for like 2 weeks straight, but it has been so nice the past few days so Z and I took advantage of it by visiting Medicine Park. There are many houses, restaurants, walkways, etc. made out of cobblestone, and it's just so pretty! We walked around and took some pictures and just enjoyed each other's company! The little shops were really cute and we eventually made our way into the "Medicine Park Ice Cream and Candy Shop". We bought 1/2 pound of homemade fudge!! 1/4 milk chocolate and a 1/4 chocolate-peanut butter! Mmmm! I hope we can go again before we leave OK so I can try their ice cream (I'm so weak when it comes to anything chocolate!) ...

Which reminds me last night when we were at Pizza Hut a little boy walked in and asked if we wanted to buy a World's Finest Chocolate bar... and of course I made Z get out his wallet and buy me one. I did, however, only get one little bar out of the whole thing because Z decided to eat the rest!!!! I guess it's better that way! :)

Anyway... After we left we drove around the refuge and I took Z to prairie dog town because he had never been! He was so surprised at how big the town was and how many holes were in the ground. It's so cute when their little heads pop out and bark, warning the others that there is an intruder of some sort around. We had a nice day and it's not over yet! I want to go see Couple's Retreat tonight and right now we're watching the Gator/Razorback game.. and the Gators are LOSING at half-time! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO! Keep it up Arkansas!!

Here are some pictures from today... in no particular order!
