HELLO MISSOURI!!!

Well we made it. We are here and all alive. It is gorgeous here. So green with lots of bugs. They are the only things that annoy me. Other then that the humidity has not been bad but everyone has been telling me that this summer was very mild (Not looking forward to next summer). There are a ton of things to do here. The first night here Jared took us to catch frogs. gross I Know but fun to watch the kids. All you have to do is run your foot through the grass and they start hopping. The firefly's are really neat. My favorite personally. We caught one but Jared had to kill it. It was about to make it great escape in the house. The pictures are of today's event. We went down to the Missouri river and the kids road their bikes well I pulled Raquel and Tyler road. There is a trail that goes along the Missouri river that is literally about 250 miles long. I hear you can take it all the way to Kansas City. It use to be a railroad all along the Missouri river so every so often you will see tacks and even cabooses. It is so neat. It is even better to go to church and study the Doctrine and Covenants and to think that most all of it took place in just a 3 hour radius. The lessons are so spiritual and more exciting.

This is Tyler after his long bike ride.

Sorry I could not figure out how to delete this picture.

This is Lewis, Clark and Clark's dog Sean. They are the explorers that founded St. Charles. Tyler and Raquel were really afraid of Sean until they realized he was not real.

The great beauty about this bridge is that it looks like the cars are driving into the trees.

My cute little angle, need I say more.

There were bird houses all along the park way.

Tyler enjoying the boat up close.
