A day off! Fall Break! The Academy set off south yesterday, bikes in tow, to Indian Cave State Park. Indian Cave is located next to the Missouri River and offers some spectacular views of the Missouri River valley. There really is a cave, with Indian petroglyphs of buffalo and deer, and some more modern work, like "Jordan 1977." We resisted adding to the collection.
We did, however, climb trees. (well, some of us..., not the official photographer, of course...)
We rode our bikes along the Missouri Watershed trail.
Here's a self-portrait, a peek into a one-room schoolroom that's on the property. If you look past the glare, you can see the classroom...We saw more fields being harvested than we could count.
We stopped at a family farm pumpkin patch in Nebraska City on the way home, and left with our arms full of pumpkins and gourds. I think the lady liked us... :-)
At any rate, I'm sure glad that my kids enjoy road trips! I guess they can hardly help it, as I've been toting them around the countryside, indeed, around the country, since before they can remember. Wonder where the road will take us next...?

What fun! A bit like Huck Finn's territory, but with bicycles! Great field trip!XOXOXO, Mom
I want to go too but might not climb the tree, although I did that just to give the grands a good working swing. Love G'Dad
