A Day At the Park

We had a picnic and took the kids to Wildlife Prairie Park yesterday. It was wonderful and they have been doing many improvements there. We rode the train (both ways) and had a nice relaxing day hiking and stopping at the general store. They have a penny candy table there that is great and all the kids (and mom and dad) got a handful of candy for a total of $3.15! Good deal!

The black bear, wolves, bobcat, fox, otters, and cougar, were all out to show themselves. The buffalo were close and we could see a few small calves roaming out there. The elk were active also.

We did not make it to the 50 foot slide with the kids, but we are members, so we'll save that for another day. 

Mike finished his last final for this semester on Saturday, so he has a month off school till the summer semester begins. I think that we may go to Cahokia Mounds this weekend or go camping. Not sure yet, but ready for summer fun!
