Tuesday in Springfield, MO

NO miles today... Just relaxing and enjoying Susan..

We started out doing some errrands. We needed Aqua Socks for activity planned later in the day. Here we are at BASS PRO SHOP - next to a black bear - like Max that lives with us!
Then we went down to the Finley River. This beautiful swimming hole is about 10 minutes from Susan's house. It is a gorgeous 85F day - not humid at all. The water is very pleasant. Shallow - and VERY slippery. It is LEGAL to do this - and there are cars and people all over. Above the dam it is deeper and older 'kids' are swimming and floatiing all over. We stayed downstream as we had forgotten the girls live preservers.
The girls had so much fun. Once we floated all together from the dam to where we parked about 1/2 mile downstream.
Grace relaxing whle Susan & Ingrid floated down again. Then it was Grace's turn!
Grandma Mary went along to photograph! it is a LOT of fun to stand under the falls.
....... and float under the falls.....
Here is a Missoura fisherwoman.....with her fishin' pole, little sister, and bait bucket roped to her bikini bottom. Have you ever seen this in NY? I think it's probably illegal up there!
