We're home alone! We left St. Louis this morning in the rain, but we had a good travel day to Thomson, IL and will be staying here a week in the corps of engineer park. We took the last site available, so we felt lucky to be here. We are right on the Mississippi River, with beautiful paved biking paths adjoining the park, that are up and down the river. We have some plans to meet friends here, do some geo-caching, bike and explore. We had a great stay in St. Louis and on this second leg of that visit, we were able to attend Shea's graduation from 8th grade from St. Joe's in Cottleville, MO. There were 110 graduates and they will be attending 23 different high schools next fall. Shea is going to Cor Jesu, where Mackenzie presently attends. Shea spent the good part of yesterday with us, so we took her to the McNair City Park and walked the paved area there and showed her a couple of geo-caches, that we found with her brother, Regan last week. Then we walked the wetland preserve section of our campground. We had a wonderful day with her, as she is finished with school, and only had graduation at 6:30 left to attend. Mackenzie had an exam on Thursday morning, so she still had school.

We saw three snakes and about a dozen turtles. The turtles were laying their eggs.
