Special Summer Moments

Ghost Town Museum
With friends at Mr. Biggs
Almost all of our cousins (missing 4) at the Molly Kathleen Mine. We went down 1000 ft. below ground to tour an actual mine. They still mine it in the fall and winter. It was pretty cool! They did however put 11 of us (all the kids and 3 moms) in one cage. The cage was about 3 feet by 3 feet and dropped at a rate of 500 ft per minute.
Kids and grandma on the way home. We stopped in St. Louis and went to the top of the Archway. We went in cage number 7. It only fit five people and when it closed, had no windows and was completely closed in. Nathan freaked out when it started rocking to accomadate the change in position on the way up. We were attached to 7 other cages/elevators. It was awesome to be 640 ft above the ground.
The boys at Cub Scout Day Camp. A week of crafts, woodworking, archery, b-b guns, tower climbing, swimming, skits, songs, and nature hikes. Nathan did an overnighter with his dad on Thursday. They took a night hike by the light of the moon only. This is sadly his last year of cub scouts as he's now a Webello II. In February, he will cross the bridge and become a boy scout.
