July 21st (Day 4- Shipley's Donuts/Eureka Springs-ThornCrown Chapel/Promised Land Zo

 We started our morning driving to Harrison to get some of the best donuts that we love from the south, Shipley's!! Yummy! Their glazed melt in your mouth.


There wasn't much to do in Harrison so we opted to head to Eureka Springs about an hour away!
Well there are mostly shops so we just found a park to eat our lunch at that we brought.

 We stopped at the glass church while we were here to check it out!

It was very pretty!
Next stop we opted for our 1st drive thru zoo....Promised Land Zoo it is!
So we went inside and got food to feed the animals, we really had know idea what we were doing and what to expect! Ha. Well we were in for a surprise. EMU's are CRAY CRAY!!
 Holy Hell it's coming in the car! Oh geez!! Attack of the emu!
Super creepy looking out through the window at us! Ha. Ella was freaked out by them.
 Ok deer we can do! So pretty and friendly.


 They were so close up!

Ella checking for the crazy Emu's...lol.

 Here come the deer!

 Wow we fed them with our hands! Very gentle.


 Addie liked the deer!




 Ohhh here comes the llama!


 AHHHHH they are back!!!
Llama's were nice also.

 The land was gorgeous and it was the perfect day!
 This is one of her favorite animals!
Love this photo!!
 I see Buffalo!
Wow this is soooo cool!! They are right next to our car!

Love this shot with the background!



 They didn't want to move out of the street!


 I fed him or her right out the window!! Wow this is amazing!!
 In the car now!! Ha.
 Nick got to feed one also!

 And Adelyn! Ella more observed it all, she didn't want to feed any from her hand!
 Baby Buffalo!! So precious!!



 Ostrich's, you weren't allowed to feed them. I have been around them before and they can be pretty crazy.


 Zebra's!! Couldn't feed them either!


 Wolf!!
 Here come the Llam's...galloping towards us! Ha.

 Feeding them in the car also...wow!!
 Last time feeding the deer, then back to the inside of the building to see more animals!
Mommy bunny with her babies! Adorable.


 We got to pet the other bunnies!



 Genie Pigs everywhere!

Exploring more animals outside!



 Prairie Dogs escaping from the cage after 20 years! haha.
Sweet cow let us pet it!

Alligator.
 OHHHHHH they have PIGS!!!
 And PIGLETS!!!!!!!

Birds.



 Oh my gosh they were soooo tiny and cute!! I could watch them all day just run about!



Yay we loved the drive thru zoo...I would recommend to people that haven't done it to try it. 
It was an experience for sure!! ha.
Daddy squeezed in! lol.
We headed back to the cabin, a little over an hour away to eat a snack and get changed to swim one more time before we made dinner!

Swing fun with Ella....she sure loved this thing!!
Ponca Access again!!
 Barely anyone is here this time!
So pretty!
Clear water!!


She didn't want to go swimming, but got here and realized how many cool rocks we could collect, then changed her mind! She had a great time after that.
 Just us!!




Trying to throw rocks onto the bridge!
We also skipped a bunch of rocks...so fun. Even Addie got some to skip!
Upside down but someone carved N + S!!

 Love it!



Ella loved digging!!
All the BIG and little rocks we took home!! 
Some had fossils, some had holes, and some were almost like gems!! 
Lets head back to the cabin to watch Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and grill some steaks!\
Soooo good!
We also did smore's cones on the grill, delicious!
Great night and way to end our vacay...going home tomorrow!
