We left for a mini-vacation on Wednesday and headed for Cape Girardeau, MO. We packed lunches and ate in the van on the way. We were going to stop at a rest stop, but we couldn’t find one after we crossed into Missouri.

We stayed at Drury Suites where they have an indoor pool & hot tub, free finger food, soda, and cocktails from 5:30-7 and free hot breakfast.

We went to a water park in Cape on Thursday. The kids had a great time! It was a great place for younger kids.

On Friday, we checked out and headed for Grammy’s. On our way we stopped at Ferne Clyffe for a little bit of hiking. We got to Grammy’s before she got home to surprise her.

While at Grammy’s the kids befriended a somewhat stray kitten. They doted on that cat the entire time and begged to get to take it home.

On Saturday, the girls went shopping and Aunt Tracey took the boys to Marion Fire Dept. to see the fire trucks….they Loved it!
