Labor Day Weekend

We spent Monday "touring" some of Missouri's Historical sites and state parks. A lot of fun and a lot of driving. We started at Mastodon State Park in Imperial. That was interesting seeing artifacts that had been discovered in that area. Next, we moved on to Missouri Mining Historical Site in Park Hills. Shayne loved walking around looking at the old site...it closed in 1972. They have lots of minerals and fossils in their museum. We ended our day at Johnson Shut Ins. It is SO BEAUTIFUL there. Amazing. We didn't have out suits so we just waded and climbed on the rocks. The day was absolutely perfect!! Shayne and Mom at Johnson Shut Ins
