Meramec Caverns Field Trip

On Sunday, we went on a family field trip to Meramec Caverns to support our Earth Science week. It only took us 30-40 minutes to get there, and I loved being able to show Lily some of the great things that Missouri has to offer.

There is evidence that Jesse James and his brother actually hid out in this cavern. Of all the information given on the tour, the one thing that Lily remembers and still talks about is that the "cowboys" (the James brothers) had to leave their horses behind in the cavern to escape in the river. She concluded that they had to be very sad about that and has inquired where the horses are now.

After 3 weeks of different topics, we are doing a review week. I'm not going to post pictures from review weeks so there is no post for last week. We have moved onto Fall this week. Hopefully, I'll be a little more on top of my updates and have pictures for this week posted by this weekend.
