Post 100

This is post 100. It should feel like a milestone, but for the life of me I can’t remember what I did on posts 1 – 99.

I will have to read the past posts and see if this has really been worth it.

Post 100 comes to us from Branson, Mo. Home of my mother-in-law, lots of family things to do, and (as observed on a recent trip to the grocery store) the entire cast of the Jerry Springer show.

Travelling with a 0, 3 and 5 year old has made the pace of this trip quite relaxed. Yesterday, we went to a fish hatchery to learn how the state of Missouri grows trout. I was expecting a big “shpeal” on how this helps the environment and makes the world a better place, but when it all comes down to it, it is really just to make life more fun for the trout fishermen. Because, since trout are not native to Missouri, they need to introduce them on a daily basis.

I thought it was cool. Thing 1 and Thing 2 got to feed the fish, which proved entertaining. The fish are so used to being fed that they actually start jumping as soon as a shadow passes over head. That kept me entertained for hours.

Today we went to a cave.

Actually, we got about half way down the stairs before Thing 1 and Thing 2 started freaking out.

We got our money back (smile).

More later, but time to go back into the Ozarks.
