Beaver Lake & Eureka Springs

We took a day trip to Beaver Lake (1 hour away) and Eureka Springs (1.5 hours away) today with Amamma and Appachen.
On our way to Beaver Lake, we stopped at a little town called War Eagle and ate lunch at the original War Eagle Mill, a water-powered grist mill on the War Eagle River built in 1882 that still grinds grains on site today. The original mill has been preserved over the years and turned into a restaurant and gift shop. After lunch, the kids had fun walking around and looking at the nearby ducks and geese. Des is just absolutely crazy about animals.

After lunch, we drove around Beaver Lake and then headed to Eureka Springs, a picturesque Victorian town nestled in the Ozark mountains. It's quaint streets are windy and hilly and they are dotted with cute little stores selling anything from jewelry to clothing to paintings and sculptures.

After all of the walking, we took a break at a beautiful little park where the kids got to get out of the stroller and stretch their legs a little bit.

It was an absolutely beautiful day and we enjoyed seeing and exploring another part of Arkansas.
