There were quite a few antique wagons around for picture opportunities.
This was the oxen ride. Gary & Gabe were our Oxen. They were awesome animals. They were so docile. They didn't even flinch while we were standing there petting them. Gary even fell asleep while he was standing there. It was interesting to find out about them chewing their cud.
Ryan was even brave enough to touch the horn. The horn was warm and you could feel the vibrations from their chewing.
A sweet hug on the banks of the Mississippi River.
Ryan shooting his sling shot.
On the trail of Hope or the trail of tears. This is the path the saints took to leave Nauvoo to head west.
Apparently I was the only one that got the message to look at the camera and smile. I don't know who or what the kids were looking at.
One of the days on our trip we drove about an hour and a half to Hannibal, Mo. For those that don't know Hannibal is the birthplace of Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). We took a paddle boat ride.
Hannibal is a cute little touristy town.
We visited the museum that displayed original Norman Rockwell paintings.
The white picket fence. Don't know why Taylor is flashing the camera.
Taylor blowing the whistle. Each of the kids got to pick a toy as a souvenir. Ryan chose a slingshot, Kaylee chose a Jacobs Ladder and We chose a steamboat whistle for Taylor because it sounds like a train whistle. She loves trains.
We got to go to Vocal Point one night. They were awesome.
One evening we spent at the adventure zone. We had pizza for dinner, drove go carts and played on the giant toy.
The go carts were a little boring because we had to take turns and couldn't race each other. Oh well when our kids get bigger we can have some fun races.
