1.

 1.You must travel over the Mississippi River to get to Papa's farm in Illinois. (see the Arch?)

2.

Oops! The road to Papa's farm is flooded today. We must look at the map and go another way!

3.

See the train tracks? They tell us that we are almost to the farm. Papa lives out in the county in a little town called Shattuc. It is about 100 miles east of St. Louis and only 300 people live there!

4.

This is Papa. He is my great grandpa and he is 93 years old. We have just finished a delicious lunch!

Back at the house, the guys play some pool in the basement.

We spent time talking about how there are train tracks marked on the map too. Can you see them?

 

What a great day at Papa's farm!

Stanley ate lunch over the highway in Oklahoma on our way to Texas.

 

Stanley ate dinner with us in Meers Oklahoma. A very small community.

Stanley rode a horse on the ranch that we stayed at in Kerrville, Texas. It is mostly country living.

Stanley played on a lot of rocks. In Texas, the yards have mostly rocks instead of grass.

Stanley was able to feed the deer in the yard! There are many animals that live on this ranch, which makes it very different than most city communities. Some animals that live on this ranch are horses, cows, pigs, turkeys and more.

Stanley found a neighbor with his name!  Since this community is so small, many people have their names by their mailboxes.

Texas may be a very large state in the United States, but Kerville is pretty small. One of the main things people do is go hiking like us in this picture.

Since Kerrville, Texas is a 14 hour drive from our house, we stopped at a water park on the way home with Stanley.

The most interesting thing about this community to Stanley was how many rocks there were. People in Kerrville, Texas don't normally have basements because it is not easy or cheap to dig into rock!
