20 miles of Katy

We rode the Katy Trail from Rocheport to just past Huntsdale, where we saw the largest oak tree in MO! Drew and I and his buddy Cale rode a little further down to McBaine, so we added a total of 2.5 miles to our ride. The next day we ventured into Boonville to check out the sights.

Fall on the Farm

One of our very favorite fall activities is 'Fall on the Farm' at Watkins Woolen Mill. This year we camped at Watkins for the weekend and then went over to the farm on Saturday for the fun! The activities included stilts, gunny sack races, rag doll making (the girls' favorite!), cider making, and flower pounding. We camped with some friends of ours, the Browns and Joel Brock. The kids were busy the whole time picking up nuts(which we could never quite identify), cracking them, and roasting them over the fire. It was beautiful weather and we loved being outdoors. I tried a few new recipes in my dutch oven which I may post if I can figure out where to do it. By the way, the pop up camper in the background is not ours! We are still tenting.
