Hiking Haha Tonka

Today, Alyssa and I decided to heard towards the lake and hike a part of haha tonka which has many trails. We did the train with the devils kitchen and the natural bridge. It was hot and buggy but very pretty!

Jefferson City

On Wednesday we took a "field trip" to Jefferson City (Missouri's Capitol) for most of the day. We had to go in order to get fingerprinted for part of our background check before we begin working in the schools with the kids. We are also required to do citizenship training so we had some time to explore the capitol and we had a guided tour of the capitol building which was pretty cool. I didn't take a ton of pictures, but here are a few.

The move to Eldon

Hello everyone,
Sunday, dad and I took off for Eldon, Missouri at about 6:30. We had the van all packed up on Friday so we could enjoy the Sillman camp out and head out early Sunday.

It took us about 10, hours to get here. We arrived around 3:30 in Eldon. Eldon is one hour behind Fowler, so we picked up a little bit of time. We arrived, met my room mate's, unloaded, and unpacked. Then we went to Walmart to get some stuff for my room and to a grocery store for some food!

We checked out the town a little bit, there is a lot here! They have a Walmart, Gerbs(just like Kroger), Mcdonalds, Taco bell, a library and drive-in restaurants. We took my roommates out for dinner at one of the drive in places and it was very good!
Dad left at about 5:30 this morning to drive back home. I spend the day getting my room set up. We have a tour of the town at 2:30 with other Americorps members. 
The kitchen is still pretty messy because we don't have a lot of cabinet space. Here are some pictures!
