Elephant Rocks State Park

WE went here yesterday for a day trip. It is in the Ozarks, just about an hour south of us in Belleville, MO. This park is created by a bunch of boulders which formed form liquid magma several hundreds of years ago. The boulders are pink granite. Granite used to be mined in the park, but now the quarry is water-filled. This is a child's heaven for running, climbing, jumping, ect. There is a path that goes around the park, so hiking is great too. We took a picnic lunch to eat. What a great day for fun. When the economy is as it is, for the price of gas the boys went to this amazing playground of elephant rocks. The slideshow appears in the post below!

Updates and such

Hello All. We have been having such a busy Summer. I am in summer school and Trevor started out with summer school as well, which was pretty much like a 3 week summer camp with lots of fun learning. He was able to have that at his new school, so it wont seem so foreign to him for the new year. He is growing up so fast.
We had Jodi and Harris out to kick off our Summer and it was so nice having our friends here. We went up to the Zoo in St Louis and were able to steal away to the mall and attend our first summer festival. Then Trev and i headed to Michigan to celebrate so many wonderful things happening. First Emma graduated from high school, then Bob and Michelle are getting married, and Katers graduated from Northwestern. So many things to be happy and thankful for!
After that, Trevor went to stay with Nanny for 2 whole weeks!!! He got to spend lots of time with Hayden and Simon and was able to see Paka and Grandma, Grandma Jan, Suzanne, Jake, Lauren, and Kor and Tom and we cant forget Grandad.
I have been in school taking English Comp 2. Doing well and hoping for another A. So Far, so good. Please note, my writings here are of NO REFLECTION of my writings for school which are edited about 8000 times, LOL. This is my casual outlet and I could give a rip if I misspell or typo. Capiche? None the less, school i s out in 3 weeks and then we have Pittsburg to look forward to. The boys are staying with Suzanne and the kids for those nights while we go. I am so thnakful for that!!!
Thankfully, everyone is well right now. I had a quick bout of Strep Throat, but antibiotics knocked that out of the park!
Oh, and Trevor grew again, another 2 inches! We will have to do some serious shopping this fall as the duo have outgrown last years pants and tops and went right for 3T!!! Trevor has outgrown all of his pants as well. It makes my head spin how fast they grow nad right before my eyes!!!
More updates to come. Cheers!
