This is the weekend that Wade, Eileen and Gibby arrived from California and they came to Rolla and spent the day and night with us. We met them at Maid Rite for lunch then went to Meramec Springs for play time and on to Alex's Pizza for dinner. Wad had invited James Thorpe and his wife to join us. They had just lost their little 5 year old boy to bacterial meningitis. James and Wade have been good friends since high school.

We had fun with them at Meramec. Gibby liked feeding the fish, of course, but he just liked being able to get our and run around too. Meramec Springs is part of the James Foundation and used to be an open pit iron ore mine back in the middle 1800's. The pit is still visible and some of the foundry and building foundations are still visible. It is a beautiful place to go and the Meramec Springs is wonderful. The fish hatchery is a great place to take kids and they can feed the fish from babies on up to full grown adults.
