Mastodon Park

Saturday we headed to Mastodon State Park. We did not know what to expect so it was an adventure! When we arrived we grabbed a map and followed a hiking trail to the site of historic dig. Unfortunately there wasn't much for the kids to see so they didn't really understand. They did enjoy the hike and all the sticks along the way.

After the hike, we went into the museum , looked around, and watched an educational movie. The kids did extremely well. I don't think anyone was SUPER impressed but it was a good learning experience. PLUS, everyone got their very own mastodon souvenir thanks to Mimi and Paw Paw.

For lunch we headed to one of Mimi and Paw Paw's favorite delis, Jersey Mikes. We were so excited that we had one in STL after they had raved about it. Then after naps it was time for Andrew's annual birthday shopping trip with Mimi and Paw Paw. We headed to Walmart and he picked out a very cool Police Lego Set. Needless to say, he was in heaven.
