Meramec Caverns

On Labor Day this year, we decided to take advantage of a local resource that is often overlooked.  In Stanton, Missouri is Meramec Caverns , Missouri's Buried Treasure.  Hope you enjoy the pics below.

My little moose.

Such a serious bat face.

Our little poser.  She loves to model.

 This was such a trip down memory lane.   I remember going with my family when I was younger.  Wifey has never been.  It was such a nice day.  We took a picnic lunch with us, and ate by the Meramec River, and only about an hour away.  We need to remember this place next summer, because you can rent rafts and canoes, camp sites and other activities.  It would make a great mini vacation spot. 

Sophia has already requested a bat costume.  We shall see what comes from my mind for that one.  I do know that she will be one great posing bat. 

I hope you enjoy.
