Battle of Pea Ridge

I'm sure everyone had heard of the Battle of Pea Ridge - a famous Battle during the Civil War. Pea Ridge, Arkansas is very near where we live and we decided to check out one of the National Military Parks last weekend. This park has a scenic seven mile bike trail with different historical stops along the way. Below are a few pictures of our journey.
Bailey is ready to go to battle!
Off we go!
Biking in front of some old cannons.

We stopped at one of the scenic overlooks for a snack break...
...but Bailey wanted to take hers to go!
Time for a family photo in front of the old Elkhorn Tavern which was described as a place of "abundant good cheer".

Dear Bailey: Look at you-just a sittin on that cannon! You have to have your Mommy ask your GU Fred if he still has the miniature cannon. It would be the perfect size for you.

Your Mommy kows that we love the pictures where you are just taking off on your walks/rides looking back. Just something neat about them.

Lots ofLove, xox
