Visiting friends

Cooper got out of school for Christmas on Wednesday, December 20th, not to return until January 2nd.  So to kick off Cooperpalooza, Coop and I drove down to Arkansas for a couple of days to visit his friend Henry.

 

The boys drawing (dinosaurs, probably) waiting for lunch:

In a fabulous used book store looking at books (about dinosaurs):

Painting their noses red with a marker so they could be Rudolph:

With one of the mascots at an Arkansas Razorback basketball game:

Playing castle with Caroline:

Digging in the dirt (for dinosaur bones):

Putting together a map of the US:

(All good, except that we managed to lose Alabama. Given the SEC rivalry, it didn't seem that Henry's family minded too much, frankly.)
