Midwest Vacation -Part 6

Thursday morning, Sarah dropped Rachel off with us at the farm and went to work in Grinnell. We fed the dog and cats and then packed our suitcases to head towards Missouri. We were ahead of schedule, so we detoured through Rock Creek State Park and played on the slides.

From there we stopped for a snack at Casey's and went into the Theisen's in Grinnell. Rachel found a slinkey that we bought for her. We then met up with Sarah and headed to Des Moines to return our rental car. From there, we drove the rest of the day to Lake of the Ozarks, arriving around 9pm.

Friday morning we got up and went exploring. First we went down to the marina and then Rachel raced us up and down the stairs. After that, we went to the beach and relaxed for a couple of hours.
