Got ready, then hauled a load of stuff to the truck and went to the continental breakfast at our hotel.  They had good food, but it was warm, not hot.  Had to microwave our coffee too because it was just warm. We went back to our room and loaded the cooler.  Bill saw that Kathy posted they were eating breakfast in Arkansas on their way to Little Rock.  He called Jeff and found out they were at the McDonald's at our exit.  We met them there and traveled together following them to Mena.  We went to Little Italy for lunch and had spaghetti and garlic rolls. Yum!  Then we checked in to our motel.  Jacob sent me some funny videos and we texted each other.  He’s so much fun!   Bruce and the boys picked the apples from our tree and made Suburban Apple Cider.  What a fun learning experience for the kids.  They said it was delicious! We relaxed in our room until 5, then went and visited with Mel and Betty in their tent.  It’s a big one and they had comfy chairs inside.  We all went to CMA headquarters and ate delicious food and yummy desserts.  They had a chocolate fountain and strawberries to cover with it.  We stopped at Walmart for a couple of things and then came back to our hotel.  Kenzie face timed me and showed me the room they painted and baby stuff in it. Also showed me the babies room.  Everything is so nice!!! Sure love my grandkids!
