Meramec Caverns

This morning after Sunday School we decided to head northwest and take a trip to Meramec Caverns. We got there around 2:00 (after stopping in Eureka for lunch) and bought our tickets and took the tour...the boys did great. After the cave tour we headed outside where we got to "pan for gold" and go on a "dino dig". Matthew & Jacob had the best time...well, Rob did too! Three kids were digging for dinosaur bones & fossils! After all of that we took a walk down to the river (Meramec River) and let the boys play around in the water. They had so much fun. Jacob fell asleep immediately after we started to head for home. It was a great day and it was so nice and cool in the caverns! Great day trip for anyone looking for a little something different to do! I'll post some pictures tomorrow...I'm headed to bed now!
