Book Club - Twilight & sereies plus movie

I picked Twilight by Stephanie Meyers for my book. This book was so good I read the rest of the series in a week. It is a love story with hot cars and cool fights. It really is about a seventeen year old girl who moves in with her father. She goes to a new school and immediatley becomes attracted to this boy. Everyone tell hers to stay away from him but she can't help herself. He ends up being a vampire, his family also warns him to stay away but the draw is to much and he can't stop thinking about her and wanting her and that is where the love story begins. I recommend this book to all. Eclipse, Full Moon and Breaking Dawn are the other three books and written just as well. There are so many interesting characters by the end of the last book I look forward to reading about any of them in the future, if she writes anymore. Of course my favorites are the 1st and 4th but I still recommend them to any one that would ask. Now for the movie 26 of us went to dinner and then went to see the movie. The movie wasn't as good and it usually isn't but the left out some important information. Also some of the character choices were a joke. Edward and Bella (main characters) grew on you and they made it work but some of the others were comical. I hope the next of the series will be better and some how work in the information that was left out of the first.

Arkansas

We went to Lake Ouchita, Arkansas. It was nice and cool. We really enjoyed ourselves away from everything around. We got to the cabin on a Friday.

The kids made themselves comfortable pretending they were in a cage. Sometimes I think that is where they should be.

This is our Cabin. We were right on the lake.

The next morning we had to get up early and go hiking. The weekend we went LSU was playing and we couldn't miss the game so off we went on our 5 mile hike. Now that the kids are older there wasn't as much complaining and Audrey walked the entire thing. The last time we had to carry her part of the way.

Mark looks at the kids while they play around the water on our hike.

Audrey looking cute as usual...

and dramatic as usual. She tripped and fell a lot. She, unfortunately, has her mothers grace. hehehe

We get back to the cabin and begin to grill our chicken. Will or Audrey, I can't remember which, begins to take pictures.

While Mark cooks I go with the kids fishing. NO FISH (boo hoo)

He is too cool for himself. He really needs a haircut.

The next day we get up and pack. Then we go on a short hike before we leave.


We always go the the science museum before we leave. We crawled through this tunnel in the dark. I am not a spring chicken anymore and my knees where killing me. Audrey of course ran into walls.

We are almost out. YEAH!!!


Shoot, another dark tunnel.

Every year the museum has a new theme or show. This year it was real cadavers. You had to pay extra for it and the kids I think are a little to young to see real cadavers and their insides. So we did a few things then headed home.
