AN EXCITING BUT DISAPPOINTING DAY
I will try to make a long story short... Yesterday the President was in town for a round table discussion and a fund raiser for th Arkansas Republican Committee. Knowing this information I invited my niece and nephew over to watch the motorcade to pass by. While we were waiting, a parent came up to us about us being down there and all the cops on every corner (her niece was having a birthday party on the street). Apparently all the parents that were arriving at the party had concerns of what was going on. I told her that the President's motorcade was about to drive by. She left to only return with the party! We all waved at the President's limo and left. Donnie called wanted me to take the camera to him out at the airport so he could take picture of Air Force One. While I was handing him the camera someone called him to tell him that the President was wanting to know who the kids were and wanted to meet them. So as I am speeding home I was making phone calls to get them back out there since the President was going to make an unscheduled stop to see the kids. Again the party was there and my family with the exception of Megan and myself who go stuck it traffic at the bottom of the hill. So here are pics of something I coordinated but wasn't able to get there for. But I am glad that all the kids were there and Mabry Meadors would have a birthday party she will never forget- Priceless! The birthday party had gotten more local and national news than the fund raiser!


Just a goofy moment!
My sister is in the orange shirt about to shake the hands with the President.
All the kids and my nephew Will is in the red shirt next to the President and my niece Annie is being held by her Nana in the far left corner!
Smiling and shaking hands!

A big hug for a little birthday girl!All the kids for a pic with the President!
