Elephant Rocks (and Turtle Rocks too)

Colin had been asking to go hiking, so we checked something off last summer's bucket list and drove down to Elephant Rocks state park.  This was SO COOL.  The kids got to climb like monkeys and we got to see some amazing rocks and scenery.

This was only slightly panic-inducing for me.

It's hard to comprehend the size of these rocks - they make my people look so tiny!

Colin is built just right for some tight squeezes.

We even hiked out to the old rail house in the woods.  Photo op.

Girl club, hiking. I love her little face.

This is totally unrelated, but you know, we're playing catch up here.  We also did some less strenuous climbing at Turtle Park on our way to the zoo one morning.  The kids were always asking about the silly turtles and snake eating the overpass when we'd go to STL, so we parked over there and let them play on a beautiful morning.
