Once in Missouri we settled into life at Nana and Wayne's cabin - mainly looking at cows and visiting the creek in the afternoon to cool off and swim. On the second night there Jewel ran off and we were worried she was lost, but she returned about 10 hours later to much relief. After that she wasn't allowed to sleep outside anymore.

This was Wilder's 'vacuum cleaner'

Wilder also loved the wind chimes

And the Ranger

We found many turtles, including 2 much smaller than these which came home with us. Ilona is an expert turtle spotter

It was hot and sweaty
