We first stopped at this area near the bike/walking path along the Missouri River and right next to the Meridian Bridge. Accalia and Cole wore themselves out rolling down the big hill and running back up. Ella hung out near me and watched all of the vehicles crossing the bridge into Nebraska.
After that we drove out to the lake and drove through the campground that we'll be staying at for our campout in June. We're actually staying in almost the exact same spots we were two years ago, which I think is just fine. There's a play area behind some of the campsites, so the kids can just run back there and play and still be very close.
On our way out, we had to pull off of the road and get out to see the turtle that was in the middle of the road. Unfortunately it had been run over, and we could see the cracked shell. The kids were very reassured to know that I wasn't the one who ran over it. We then headed over to a nearby park and hung out for a while. We spent some time near the water's edge, collecting tiny shells, throwing rocks into the water and watching the little fish that were swimming close to shore.
Back at the playground, Accalia and Cole collected sticks and rocks and opened up their own dinosaur shop specializing in dinosaur bones and eye balls.
Cole was a very attentive shop keeper.
Ella collected rocks.
Then she threw them.
Accalia's wearing her new polka dot outfit that she picked out herself and dearly loves.
Cory had another day of not getting home until after 7 p.m., and after he had supper he mowed the lawn. Tomorrow night his late appointment is at 7 p.m., but after that we're going to the carnival that's set up shop in the mall parking lot. They come twice a year, and the kids have been talking and talking about the next time it will be here.

We helped a turtle who was crossing the road on a Murdo country road, on Wednesday! Sorry yours wasn't so lucky... :(
