    Nice report! Looks like you guys had a blast. My seven year old loves going out for hikes, hangs and geocaching with me. Can't wait for the little guy (two year old) to get out with us too.

    Thanks for sharing your trip with us!

    great job. I remember taking my daughter and then son on two seperate outings there when they were about the same age. Good idea never to stray to far from the water when temps get this high in Missouri.
    Good for both of you- keep it up.

    I hope to organize a larger hang here in the fall when it cools off and the ticks have left us for the season.
