We drove the farm yesterday evening and today Andy and I took E to see Cahokia Mounds. We watched a film about the Indians and walked about the museum. It's a lot more extensive than last time I was there. Then we climbed up to the top of Monk's Mound. It's quite a hike. Here we are at the top:

When we got back to Mom's house, Cindy was there. They took B and L to Steak 'n Shake for lunch in Edwardsville. Cindy mentioned that she had a storm shelter installed in her yard and since we had never seen anything like that before, we had to take a field trip to Gillespie to see it. Andy was impressed and said it's a good idea. Course, he's like it even better if it had a a hot tub. Hopefully, she'll never have to use it, but it's there just in case.
I think the kids had the most fun playing Uno Stacker with cousin A. I'm sure they're going to ask him to play again at Christmas. I love the look on B's face, waiting for the tower of blocks to tumble.

Getting a storm shelter installed is really a good idea. It is one of the best ways to keep you and your family safe when a tornado or great storm hits the place.
