Carissa and I got back on the road at about 7:00. We had spent the night in Joplin, Missouri. She helped me walk Shasta, fill the cooler with ice, and load the car. I looked in the back seat and she reminds me so much of her Dad when he was little. She is only three, but already shows an addictive streak in her with her Leapster game. I am glad it is educational. (Sorry Jonda, but I see my Carissa going to the Casino's with her Grammy when she is grown up).
Evidently, one of her IPhone games is off a little. She would touch a circle or a square and it would say that it was incorrect. I could hear her talking to the Iphone saying, "I DID TOUCH THE CIRCLE". She was so funny.
She had been so good the day before, and we were making such good time; that I started looking for something fun to do. I kept seeing signs for the Fantastic Caverns. The only drive through caverns in America. I asked her if she wanted to stop, and with the enthusiasm of a three year old she yelled "yes". She was a little apprehensive as we started down into the cave. It was okay, and a break from the car for her, but I think Grammy really enjoyed the history of it more.

We got back on the road. We made it through Missouri and into Illinois. Carissa was fixed up with movies, but played with her Leapster and iphone almost the entire trip. We made it to the camp about 6:30. I was exhausted, but Carissa was ready to see everything and drive the Artic Cat around. We went and ate at Chili's, and Pawpaw took Carissa to her favorite store (Target). She added Nemo to her Leapster collection.
