Dan's Mom grew up in nearby Lebanon, Missouri so one weekend Annie, Dan and I took a road trip up to Lebanon's Bennett Spring State Park on the Niangua River. Bennett Spring State Park is a major fishing attraction in the area as it's a trout hatchery and the water is teeming with fish. Annie enjoyed walking along the water and watching the fish swim about.

Dan's second week at work Drury hosted a kayak outing on the James River (yes - Springfield also has a James River!). We got to go take out some kayaks for a nice long paddle along the river into Lake Springfield for free :-). There are lots of caves in this area and we are looking to exploring some of them when David, Gabrielle, Noah and Sonja come visit next month.
