Enjoy The Warm Days When We Get Them
Elephant Rock
Living in St Louis, everyone knows that we probably will have a couple more nice days before the first snow. My family and I just took a day trip out to Elephant Rock State Park and it was wonderful. There are tons of places to have a picnic, restrooms, playground and do not forget about the great walking path with climbing rocks. The kidsinstl.com family highly recommends this outing!
