We crossed the river over to IL to visit an old Indian site called Cahokia. There are a series of mounds built up by hand hundreds of years ago and a cool museum to learn all about them. Again, I'm sure we'd have learned a lot more if we weren't chasing the crazies around, but still really cool.
On top of the largest mound overlooking the city of St. Louis in the distance.
The girls always love a chance to run wild on a trail...
...or make sand (rather, gravel) angels.
It's amazing how flat everything is there and how just 100 ft of elevation seems so dramatic.
When I can convince her not to pull my hair out, I really enjoy having my little shoulder companion.
We can't believe our vacation is over already. It went by so fast, but was such a wonderful experience. Libby loved it so much, she's convinced she wants to move to St. Louis! (We think it's the whole idea of vacation that she's always sold on at the end of a trip. No matter where we go, she's convinced she wants to move there. I mean, really, an entire week together with the family where no one has to go to work or do anything real...yeah, I'd want to make that permanent, too!)
No moving to St. Louis Libby!!! What would happen to Friday Funday?!!!
