Today was a busy day! We started off exploring Historic St. Charles. This place is amazing! It still has the cobblestone streets and all of the old houses and buildings. It’s beautiful! It’s also famous for being the home place of Daniel Boone, the beginning of the Oregon Trail and the Santa Fe Trail and for being a stop-off in the Lewis and Clark expedition. It’s a pretty neat place.

We didn’t take a lot of pictures of St. Charles, but we may go back tomorrow to tour the first capital. It’s a really neat looking building. We’ll be sure to take some pictures if we go back.
Next stop – Graham Cave State Park. As soon as we arrived, Claire spotted the playground and started hollering to “slide! – slide! – slide!” We indulged her, of course!
Claire’s new sliding technique involves laying down flat on the slide.
Claire’s daddy climbed on top of the monkey bars to teach her how to use them.
Off for some hiking. My beautiful family!
What a fun day! We are now very tired and are going to get some rest.

WOW! Fantastic pictures! Wish I could have been in on some of that, especially the spelunking...not!
You guys really have a knack for having fun. Publish a book on traveling with toddlers or something.
Great monkey bar pic.
