Roaring River, Missouri


Our first full day in Missouri was beautiful out as far as weather!!! Certainly a big change from the 80cm of snow we left back in Ottawa!!!

My cousin chase came out this way to do some fishing and spent 2 days with us. We really enjoyed his visit!!! Olivia took quite a like to him as well...

We took Olivia to Roaring River (a place that features fishing, camping hiking and all sorts of other outdoor activities) to get some air and for a ride in her stroller. She wasn't too sure at first WHAT to think of the outdoors since this was the first time since she was a newborn she'd been outside without a ton of snow gear on!!! She LOVED it!!! She was totally mesmorized by the air on her skin, the wind in her hair, the people, the vehicles, the wild life around her etc. We could really see it in her face that she was excited yet perhaps a little confused? Anyway she loves the outdoors and I'm sure will be confused once we return home to the weather and our snow suits!!!

Here are a few pics we took while at Roaring River...
