Turner's 1st Satterfield family vacation!

2009 Satterfield family vacation
Eureka Springs, Arkansas


We had such a wonderful time with all of the Satterfield gang. There was never a dull moment between the 5 grandchildren or the 3 brothers...not sure which group was more entertaining. We went to Branson and hit the outlet malls, enjoyed all the art in Eureka Springs, ate tons of delicious food including an amazing fish fry courtesy of the guys' fishing trip and had wonderful fellowship. It was certainly a trip to remember.

Thank you Johnny & Judy for treating us to a special vacation. We love you so much!

Grandma, Grandpa and all their precious grand kids!

Turner had SO much fun playing with his big cousins.

Turner did so awesome on the car ride to Eureka and the entire vacation. I was a little nervous how he'd do with his schedule since I'm a stickler on schedules..but he was perfect. Had 3 naps a day and was never fussy and for the most part slept pretty good in his pack 'n play!

One Happy Little camper ..if you look real close you can see that Turner's 1st toothy finally popped thru the gum...and another one right next to it is about to pop up too!

Having some papa time!

A cold front moved in on Monday morning, so we rushed to get around and headed out for Silver Dollar City in Branson. By the looks of Turner's grin, he had a blast. He was a little jealous of mommy and papa's funnel cake and lemonade freeze! John & I didn't ride any rides, but we love to look at all the craft stores and eat all the "fair" food!


Turner and his wonderful cousins: Reese (4), Emma (9), Mason (7), and Tess (4)

This was Turner's 1st "ride" at Silver Dollar City!

Ready for Sunday brunch....On Sunday, we all went to the Crescent Hotel to indulge in their Sunday brunch. Smoked salmon, prime rib, shrimp, omelets, chocolate fountain and mimosa's. I could get use to those type of meals!

Emma, Tess, and Mason at Sunday brunch acting so grown up!

Turner and his "do rag" ready to go swimming. He loved the big kid pool. He floated on his back and even kicked his feet! He wanted so badly to put his face in the water...maybe next summer. But I think he's going to love swimming like me!


My wonderful in-laws! Thank you again for an amazing family vacation.

We made memories that we will cherish for a lifetime!

Grams and Lolly enjoyed every minute we had at the Satterfields. Turner is just as sweet as you say he is. He is the best little baby I have ever been around. Always smiling and oh how he loves to laugh. I am amazed at how he adores his Mama and Papa. Once again, God is so Good! Now Turner, don't let Aunt CC get all your sugar, she will try but save some for Lolly. You 2 have fun and Chas you go and enjoy yourself. I think Turner is in Good hands. Thanks for a wonderful time. Lolly
