it was raining cats and dogs. and was flooding.
so, we make one last stop at target and starbucks for a last minute gift. this was around 10. well, i ran into a girl from antioch at the checkout. we start talking. she says she's headed to antioch. i ask her how she's getting there, as i understood the interstate was closed in spots and that 67/167 was flooded around cabot.
she tells me that the interstate is stopped up. to go to malvern. then to sheridan. then through little rock...by way of the airport. then jacksonville and cabot. then the dream hometown. or the dht to all you badgers out there.
so, something like four hours later...we arrive in beebe.
we went through some water that i would have NEVER gone through alone. NEVER, EVER, EVER. there were a few cars up to the roof underwater. bad news bears. so bad news.
pratt was a champ and didn't fuss the entire way up there. the entire four hours in the car. it was like he knew that we wouldn't have been able to handle it. that or maybe that we stopped in sheridan at that shell gas station and got the best friend food ever. corn fritters, chicken fingers and cheddar peppers. yummy.
we made it to see papaw and got to see allen for a while too. it was nice to see papaw. this was his first christmas without mamaw...so 66 christmases together. and this was his first alone. i can't even begin to imagine.
pratt enjoyed visiting with papaw. he danced to music by allen. and then played the piano with his daddy.
here are a few pictures.
part two coming soon. out here in the country, it takes forever to load pictures.

That water looks crazy scary! I'm so glad you guys made it ok. And you can ALWAYS count on Sheridan for quality fried gas station food. It was definitely a staple back in the days (unfortunately). Adorable pictures though!
