Arkansas Diamond Mine

The weekend of July 18 we met Kiki and Papaw Duke in Murfreesboro, Arkansas at the Crater of Diamonds State Park.  Papaw Duke has been wanting to go to the diamond mine for years!  For father's day this year we booked the trip.  Unfortunately we booked it for the hottest weekend of the year!  The heat index on this day was 108 where we were!  It was brutally hot out there but we still had fun!  I know on a cooler day we could have stayed much longer.  Bryce, Anthony and Papaw dug for about 2 hours.  CeCe and I lasted one hour.  Kiki was smart and stayed in the shade the whole time!  








We didn't find any diamonds.  But we did find some neat looking rocks and one pretty quartz.  

That night we drove to Hot Springs for the night.  The next day we took a Duck Tour around town.  No pictures from that though, I must have been too hot to think!!
